That's why Toyota moved to Ada, because their C or C++ software caused crashes.

Pattern matching is in all functional languages, afaik.

Ada has ranges and subtypes. type Angles is 0 .. 360; subtype Acute_Angles is range Angles'First .. 90; Subtypes can be used with the parent type without conversions. Pascal only has subranges, iirc.

c is the new BASIC.

FYI, re the ranges in rust, you can do a range minus 10 in Ada, I use it in my SDL2 bindings.

If the price is not on the website, you can't afford it.

Your first point cancels out your fourth.

Ada has the concept of Pools, the heap is one of the pools, you can define your own.

Pretty sure Java in vscode and android studio places block names after }'s because it's hard to read otherwise.

You talk about C and C++ yet call Ada "ancient," C from 1969 and C++ from 1979. Whereas Ada's first version is from 1980 and first standardised version (different to 1980) in 1983. Yeah, "ancient."

GetIntoGamedev is not old, he's in his 20's. The issue is, is that people are not prepared to trying something if it doesn't look like C or C++.

What are the options required to build an android gcc these days?

Look at the "Linking" section https://github.com/ada-game-framework/sdlada I'm looking into getting it all automated through pragma's and gpr's.

Alire is a frontend to the toolchain, including gprbuild, it just handles grabbing the projects as well.

An Ada image with zero use of Ada.

Don't know why you think that, I learnt some COBOL using microfocus' compiler on a pc at college, it was fine.

Use AmigaE, far nicer than C. Never tried Chris Handley's "Portabl E" compiler.

Yeah, I remember seeing that years ago, shame it's not open and only win/mac.

The thing about this would be that it likely still compile with zero changes, if the source were available. The code could easily be converted to later Ada versions and use C.Pointers where necessary (triple pointers), but void * are easy e

He was complaining of no destructors in Ada, when there are.

It was designed by Jean Ichniah and his team, but he was the main designer. You don't have to use the entirety of the language, you can use pragma Restrictions to get the compiler to ensure you don't use certain features. Some fea

That is still a major problem. I helped a guy get fsf gnat running on yocto for his startup, they didn't use Ada in the end though.
