The Ada standard library is massive and is included in the exception. There are "internal" "GNAT specific" packages which you can include in your project but there are not really any you need or would use in a general

No mention of Ada in 1996? How rude!

Think of the time savings though of not having to apt-get/configure/make/google-search/repeat for 971 binaries! :P

Doubt that, looking at my list of applications - I have 124. So, 100mb * 124 = 12.4 gb and I have half a terabyte of storage... Windows 10 requires 16 gb of storage. Heck most phones have 64 gb these days. We need to stop living in the past

Oh my, each app is going to be 20 mb bigger! This mattered 30 years ago, but now I would say we have a huge problem for end users with all of these "Package managers" and "dependency managers" getting tangled up because

Wow, I checked but apparently the Pi 3 DOES meet the Windows 10 system requirements just barely. I wonder how fast the UI and Cortana run... Win 10 Specs: Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC. RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 3

No reason to get excited folks - its YAEC (yet another electron component). Me: Wouldn't it be great if we had a light-weight native chat app that was compatible with all of the many slow-resource intensive chat programs i am chained t

Well, you'll end up with toxic drinking water with this attitude. I don't know what the right solution is, but saying you don't know enough at this point to throw out your teflon pans and avoid certain products and that you d

Don't look now, but PFAs have been "replaced" with a chemical called "GenX." These companies will just shapeshift their toxic sludge every time a major suit is won. Sickening... https://en.wikipedia.org&#

There are ways for us "end-users" to get a hold of LTSC. First download the demo from microsoft then go to ebay to buy a key from some shady guy for 14$. Seems to work for me :P

Very creative project! Did you experience any issues doing pseudo-low-level programming with Javascript's lack of typing system or definite integer/float data-types?

Guess what? Electron is everywhere and everything. Electron is taking over - its raining hamburgers.... RUN Seriously though, I guarantee it would nuke old hardware into orbit. Its unfortunately not feasible IMHO due to modern software glut

It's all semantics - I don't understand why people want to defend a multi-billion dollar corporation, but, lets say, that NYC didn't write off 5 billion to Amazon. Could the city have budgeted more for the failing subway and

Who cares where it comes from. Tax payers are out 5 billion does it matter how?

Imagine if the project was given the 5 billion tax dollars handed to Jeff Bezos instead of a measly 4.5 million... This is why the environments a disaster - not because you decide to buy an SUV

Another electron toy saves the day complete with flat buttons and hamburgers - I wonder how reliable and fast it is? Is it that hard to make something in QT that doesn't eat up a gig of RAM?

It is actually possible to define all of those things in a compiler standard and force them to do it certain ways or document possible "implementation permissions", but, again unicode identifiers are rare in practice because progr

Reading for both ends is maddening for seasoned devs, but in a general sense most languages are symbol salads these days for arbitrary, subjective reasons. The decisions made during the C development to squeeze the juice out of 60 character

How about just using Ada? It has the added bonus of not being a gimmick (depending on who you ask I suppose ; ) Ada: type Ret_Typ is array (1..3) of Integer; Foo : access function return not null access Ret_Typ := null; C: int ((foo)(const
