One more reason not to support Google I guess. I don't understand the appeal of VS code anyway - its nothing but a slow Electron thing. Notepad++ and Sublime blow it out of the water.

As a language designer myself I truly do applaud your effort. I am just a fellow skeptical human who loves strongly typed languages! Keep it up, I will be following the progress. > ...focused on how much of a function's logic can fi

Also, added in a recent version of the language (as part of 2020) you can simply use 'Image directly on an object saving you a bit of typing : ). And let me let you in on a secret Ada programmers don't talk about or put in example
