Now that would be a dream come true! I have the ancient GNAT on my Alpha,
and the even older DEC Ada. The compiler situation is what keeps me from
being more serious about the language.

In the first lockdown, after been made redundant, I had a play with GNAT
2019, and after a few false starts got 2000 odd lines of code working.

Always liked strong typing and trapping bad calls etc, but it is nearly
over the top for a small dev. I did notice that a few bugs caused errors
that were not trapped. Not good, but I dare say with more knowledge I
could better handle. I do vaguely follow comp.lang.ada but a lot of the
discussions go straight over my head!

:-) :-) :-)

Have a look at what the ARG did with a couple of proposals of mine
from a few years ago and how they changed from my original (hopefully
readable :-) ) proposals into the formal language you see in the standards:

http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ai12s/ai12-0127-1.txt

http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ai12s/ai12-0128-1.txt

My original proposals are still in the latest versions of the above AIs
in the appendix section.

Simon.
