win32 F/OSS development - Ada

Ada Lovelace

ADA is a static typed procedural language developed by the US Navy. As it's use was required by the US DoD from the late 80's to the late 90's, it's fairly common in that arena. It's ISO/ANSI standard effort was fostered by the development of GNAT the GNU Ada Compiler.

Install

Head over to Ada Core - The Libre Site. It requires free registration, but it's relativly painless. You'll want to grab the main gnat-gpl binary and the win32ada package. The download comes as a Tar file, so use 7zip to unarchive it. Then run the auto-installers.

The Ada Core distro comes with GPS, the GNAT programming studio, but AdaGIDE is worth looking at as well.

Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.
