Oddly enough I just started down the same path learning Ada by following Crafting Interpreters in both Java and Ada. If you decide to write anything up about your journey I'll look forward to reading it.

I'd love to see a text-only version. That would be fun to develop against and almost any FPGA should be able to run it. Might evolve into an interesting embedded platform over time.

Perhaps the natural discomfort many face when confronted by this challenging formulation instead indicates that a limitation of the real number system has been perceived? I would encourage those who have this reaction to study hyperreal and

For those wishing to run Linux, which of laptops require no (or minimal, I suppose) closed source firmware? I tend to prefer Debian sans non-free but I'm practical enough to just weight that as one factor among many.
