No, it really cannot. It's a person's name.

ed?

VSCode / Atom aren't IDE's, they are editors with lots of plugin's, like VIM and Emacs are.

You only need to go on programming languages or compilers subreddits to see that they only seem to know C or C++, due to the "hey, I made a language and it's based on C(++), only btter." I look and it's basically the sam

Yup, look at any driver in the Linux kernel.

I've done plenty of C and C++, so I know what {} means, it's just that braces are harder to see, especially when there's a lot of them.

AIUI, it used to be £5k per seat here.

by Lucretia9 6y ago
When was that? For a company I know who tried to use Ada a while back, that 5K was too expensive even then.

Currently it's built around gnat, not looked at the source, but I hope they've built in portability across compilers.

I've done that.

It's a brilliant language and due to the fact that it can limit you in the eyes of employers is one reason why I'm dabbling with other languages (including Go) and also a syntax for a new one inspired by Ada.

I don't get this whole need to shorten keywords to 2 letters when the IDE will just autocomplete them, it's really stupid.

I don't know SPARK and haven't touched it, but...I had to learn Ada9X at uni in 1995, I've been using it for the last 15 years and have been on #Ada on Freenode for longer. 1) The creator of #Ada, caracal, once said that when

Oh Ada is so much more complex than Pascal. I think getting something with the numeric types is doable in a smaller timeframe, the OO, tasking stuff would be much harder. You could knock out an object-Pascal / Oberon compiler in a matt

Why didn't you, at least, put in Ada's numeric type system into D? You would've had a massive edge over C++ right there.

by Lucretia9 6y ago
I think someone was looking for that. You don't have a copy of the other languages do you? Red is online, but blue and yellow are not.

There are many industries that could benefit from Ada, but one in particular is the games industry, but then, they'd also have to start designing stuff, stop feature creep and changing every little thing all the time, and crunch.

Shame you didn't write an Ada compiler, the docs were available. It would've been interesting to see what you would've come up with. It'd still be interesting I think. A lot of the older closed compiler are still based a

You'd spend about 1000th of the time in a debugger compared to modern C++ and about 1000000th the time compared to C.

It's Pascal inspired but certainly not any of Wirth's syntaxes, like 1/2 line if's, semi colons in weird places making blocks look odd. Ada has a more inclusive syntax, whereby "is" or "begin" and &

Ada is case insensitive, so if you really wanted to you could write it in all lower or all upper case. Although, your source would be considered hard to read.

by Lucretia9 6y ago
You should count up how many keywords C++ has, then count the number in Ada.

People need to stop using "wordy" when they mean "readable."

The word "mismanagement" assumes it was meant to work. It wasn't. It was a bung to one of Cummings' mates to make an app to gather information on us, which didn't work, because people knew who it was from and didn&#

Do you assist in relocating?
