I've got I/O needs... Like 35 GPIO lines and 8 devices on an 8Mhz SPI bus level of needs. A big I/O processor demultiplexed down to a UART; not a lot of CPU, just a lot of realtime shuttling of small packets of data....
#Adalang on an #ATMega2560 or #Forth ( #Mecrisp-ice on a Lattice #FPGA )?
Choices...
Tada 0.7.0 - global and local toolchains support (including Alire)
Changelog:
* validate package versions: Semver + optional prerelease tag, example: `0.1.0-dev`
* add tada config command: display configuration
* support local and global toolchain configuration
ANN: Testy - my new testing framework
I built it, because I wanted to match on exception identity and / or exception message as well, and as far as I know, it is not possible with AUnit. Also, I wanted to understand how testing frameworks work under the hood.
Now, all my projects, including Tada, use it. I hope someone finds it useful:
@andrewnez great read, thanks! Now I have to evaluate how my new, cough, cough, package manager for #AdaLang fits all of what you have described
TL;DR manifest file is the lockfile, dependencies are immutable through checksums, but I’m still in early stages so I probably missed tons of issues.
New Tada 0.6.0 release!
Changelog:
* tada help: commands in the alphabetical order
* bring back tada cache: install package to the local cache
Decided to add rationale behind Tada [1]:
Tada is a project for personal use. I know Alire [2] exists, is more feature rich and has hundreds of packages. And that's fine. Tada is something I always wanted to build. I write Ada for fun and decided to build many projects in it to understand how the foundational pieces work under the hood. I plan to release more projects in Ada in the near future, and I want to create my own little #programming world around the language. I hope someone finds it useful.
@michalfita I think it works both ways: if you don’t know #AdaLang well enough, you have to fight the compiler, if you don’t know #Rust well enough, you have to fight the compiler / borrow checker as well :)
I do not agree with the sentiment of one tool being more or less productive than the other: I am amazed how productive I am with Ada.
Skills > tools.
@michalfita does it NEED them, actually?
Call me an ignorant, and by no means I want to fight #Rust. I’m happy it exists and it’s great. I just think we, as people, love to reinvent the wheel. I can’t stop thinking we had Rust 40 years ago, but simpler and called #AdaLang.
New, BIG, Tada release!
It supports "tada install" using a global package index and an included testing framework!
Ownership And Memory Safety
In this video, we'll explain how Ada could use the ownership mechanism to improve memory safety and make working with complex data structures more convenient.
