Hi, I've been using Assembler, C, C++, C#, Pascal, Delphi, etc. but never found a language so pleasant to use on larger projects than Ada - A shame that it's knowledge is not more widespread. Maintaining a +30 year old code base of +1MSLOC written in Ada turned out *not* to be a nightmare :-) - On the contrary, implementing Web Services (SOAP and REST) and Web Clients into this old code base was actually quite easy. The old saying/joke: "If it compiles it works" is *almost* right.
Together with two friends I programmed an autonomous robot in Ada for a competition - I actually considered RTEMS for the job, but were too lazy, so we used Linux for this one, perhaps next year should be with RTEMS? If you are interested there is a video of its final run (Danish speaking, sorry): http://knaldgas.dk/~pdj/robocup/DTU_RoboCup_Roadrunner_Finale_2019.mp4 Anyhow, books, guidance, etc.: * Book: "Programming in Ada 2012" by John Barnes, ISBN 978-1-107-42481-4 * IRC: #Ada * Google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.ada See you out there :-) ~Per On 6/24/20 5:27 PM, Joel Sherrill wrote: > > On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 3:39 AM Ярослав Лещинский > <midniwal...@gmail.com <mailto:midniwal...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hello, > > AFAIK RTEMS has an ada support maybe someone can suggest any > useful manual, guides, books, etc about this language?
