Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- ASFML v2.5.5 (Ada binding to SFML) has been released with an upgrade to CSFML 2.5.2 and improved API documentation
-
ADA for reliable 2D game
Unfortunately, Ada is not used for professional game development, but it will probably help a single developer to develop a bug-free game more than C++. For a 2D game, one good option as toolkit is the binding to SFML.

Audio Library for Ada
Have you followed the instructions in ASFML to make it work? The easiest way is to import the library using Alire.

What Did You Work On in 2021?
I resurrected an abandoned binding to SFML and updated it to version 2.5. I finally made so many changes to the Ada API, that I can consider it my own work, and have the joy to see it used by other people.

December 2021 What Are You Working On?
A new bugfix release of ASFML: https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML/releases/tag/v2.5.2
-
Which GUI for an Ada desktop application do you recommend?
Since we're talking about a game, ASFML might be a good option.

Ada For Game Development
I maintain a binding to SFML: https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML
-
ASFML v2.5 released
The Ada binding to the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library has released a new version compatible with SFML v2.5.
- Are there any open source Ada projects?

Code Search Is Hard
https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum
The hardest part about getting code search right imo is grabbing the right amount of surrounding context, which septum is aimed at solving on a per-file basis.
Another one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is stack-graphs (https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which tries to incrementally resolve symbolic relationships across the whole codebase. It powers github's cross-file precise indexing and conceptually makes a lot of sense, though I've struggled to get the open source version to work

Getting Ada into the mainstream (Dec 1990 edition ^^)
I do a lot of weird and experimental work in Ada. Some of it works, whereas a lot of it doesn't. While I have done this sort of work in Python, Ruby, Rust, C or C++ in the past, when I do it in Ada, I end up saving time later on since the language forces many "good practices."

Septum 0.0.7 released (experimental Mac support)
I'd appreciate any issues or suggestions you want to report on GitHub to help me improve this.

Zig self hosted compiler is now capable of building itself
Ada is another option without a GC. I wrote a search tool for large codebases with it (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum), and the easy multitasking and pinning to CPUs allows you to easily go wide if the problem you're solving supports it.
There's very little allocation since it supports returning VLAs (like strings) from functions via a secondary stack. Its Alire tool does the toolchain install and provides package management, so trying the language out is super easy. I've done a few bindings to things in C with it, which is ridiculously easy.
-
April 2022 What Are You Working On?
I mentioned my project Septum in a HackerNews comment, which caused it to pick up over 200 GitHub stars. That seemed to give Ada some publicity since it's a general purpose tool, so I'll also publish a new up-to-date version (0.0.6) here soon.

Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?
I work on code bases with millions of lines, so I wrote a tool called Septum to help me (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum/). This isn't to replace grep or ripgrep or silver searcher, those are all great tools you should have!
Septum is neighborhood based (context-based) search, so you can find contiguous groups of lines which contain specific things, but exclude other things. It's also interactive so you can add/remove filters as needed. This makes it useful for those cases where terms change based on their context so you can exclude terms related to the contexts you don't want to keep. It reads .septum/config which contains its normal commands to load directories and settings, so you can have different configs per project you're working on.

Ada Crate of the Year: Interactive code search
Here's a short demo video of his Septum tool mentioned in the article: https://asciinema.org/a/459292
-
What Did You Work On in 2021?
I also did a few things: - Wrote an online e-book about Ada - Septum - context-based source code search for multi-million line codebases (I use this nearly every day at work. It's being submitted as my Ada crate of the year. - dir_iterators - library similar to the incredible walkdir. - project_indicators - library for spinners and progress bars. - trendy_terminal - library for cross-platform terminal setup, VT100 support, and GNU readline-like behavior. - trendy_test - library for simple unit testing, which runs tests in parallel. - Ada Ray Tracer - an Ada port of Ray Tracing in One Weekend. - dirs_to_graphviz - Make graphviz files from directory trees. - rst_tables - a tool to draw RST table outlines.
