I swear that every other code article on HN makes me want to learn Ada out of spite.
I just wish there was a more visible community of libraries it's hard to get into a language when you have to start at writing a CS 10* level of software due to lack of libraries for higher level/more interesting projects.
- sveiss 14y agoI used it for uni for our intro to data structure/algorithms course, and later on for a real time control systems course. In both cases it was a good fit and the language was fairly pleasant to use, if a bit verbose and pedantic to my Ruby-and-Perl-accustomed brain. It's certainly worth playing with.
- Avshalom 14y agoI've got about 1-2 thousand lines of code lying about in tiny programs I've written playing with it, and I did enjoy it. I just never seem to have a size-able problem that's a good fit contemporaneous with the itch to learn it. So a subleq virtual machine here, a markov chain there, but I've never managed to really sink my teeth in.
