BingoBoingo: You just end up poorly reimplementing Common Lisp or
Ada lobbes: So one defines their own data types in
ADA? I'm not sure why I find that interesting
PeterL: in my initial introduction to
ada, it seems verbose, with extra words hanging around where a symbol could work just fine
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: so brought up
ADA at work, and coworker started having Vietnam-esque flashbacks from school. Is this normal behavior?
BingoBoingo: Amazingly sbcl, no problem on OpenBSD. Any
Ada at all, huge fucking pain.
decimation: macports has a 'port' of gcc-gnat , but it requires an existing
ada compiler to build
decimation: asciilifeform: I spent a few days trying to get
ada working on osx 10.9, gave up
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Dragonfly ports are mostly loose FreeBSD ports with little guarentee of working. There are older
Ada and the visual
Ada IDE ports for OpenBSD, but... it seems fuckers would on the whole rather test "go"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> decimation: but in this case the package manager is not at fault. someone deliberately sabotaged a library. << So on OpenBSD I'm nt finding an
Ada port or package that works with sufficient frequency to make it too the tree. Looking like the turdswitch may have been flipped in GCC
adlai: asciilifeform: any particular reason for your love of
ada, specifically?
ascii_field: jurov: i don't think i will ever -enjoy-
ada. but the more one studies it, the less escapable is the conclusion that 1) it is a necessary thing 2) for which there is, at present, no credible alternative whatsoever
jurov: ascii_field: you seen a pamflet claiming
ada was intended as elaborate hoax to set back russian progrmamers?
decimation: asciilifeform: it amuses me that there are fans of
ada in ru
ascii_field: for gentoo/
ada folks: that overlay actually -works-
punkman: asciilifeform: should I be looking at
ada 2012 flavour?
☟︎ punkman: I'd be interested in learning
Ada (or other language), but damn that's some gnarly syntax
BingoBoingo: It is amusing. Still when it comes time to replace GPG it will look more like
https://github.com/tedu/reop than any Moxenslit iPerson thing (except... with RSA support and done in
ADA/Common Lisp)
decimation: asciilifeform: unfortunately
ada (derived from pascal-algol) has 1-based array indexes
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i can already picture 'teh phyootur' where the
ada-on-bare-metal meta-foundation(tm) is laughing at us << Irony of USG sponsored
Ada saving the world from C is delicious
decimation: yeah it seems like a waste of time trying to turn the c-dialect of algol into the
ada dialect
decimation: it seems with a pl like
ada, it mostly comes 'built-in'
decimation: apparently the 'new' system is a complete rewrite in
ada decimation: asciilifeform: that was a neat link about
ada decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose that if one really wants an os written in
ada that 'fits in head' - one should write it himself
decimation: asciilifeform: there's also ARINC standard 653 if you want an RTOS along with your
ada decimation: the problem is that many of the promises of
ada cannot be kept by the underlying hardware
decimation: asciilifeform: even usg has abandoned
ada decimation: asciilifeform: what are you trying to compile that is written in
ada?
