The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Ada Lovelace's Note G in Ada
I wrote an Ada2012 translation of the Fourmilab Java emulation; the input cards to add 1 to 2 and get 3 (lines beginning with a dot are comments) are . number card, set v0 to 1 n000 1 . set v1 to 2 n001 2 . operation card, add + . load from v0 l000 . load from v1, apply the operation l001 . save the result in v2 s002 . print the last result p . halt with message h done! The trace output from a run is $ ./aes -t demo.ae Card 1 (demo.ae:1) . number card, set v0 to 1 Card 2 (demo.ae:2) n000 1 Store: 1 => V0 Card 3 (demo.ae:3) . set v1 to 2 Card 4 (demo.ae:4) n001 2 Store: 2 => V1 Card 5 (demo.ae:5) . operation card, add Card 6 (demo.ae:6) + Card 7 (demo.ae:7) . load v0 Card 8 (demo.ae:8) l000 Store: V0(1) => Mill Card 9 (demo.ae:9) . load v1, apply the operation Card 10 (demo.ae:10) l001 Store: V1(2) => Mill Mill: 1 + 2 = 3 Card 11 (demo.ae:11) . save the result in v2 Card 12 (demo.ae:12) s002 Store: 3 => V2 Card 13 (demo.ae:13) . print the last result Card 14 (demo.ae:14) p 3 Card 15 (demo.ae:15) . halt Card 16 (demo.ae:16) h done! Halt: done! The (bugfixed) program for AAL’s Note G is here.

June 2023 What Are You Working On?
GCC 13.1.0 for aarch64-apple-darwin21, both native and cross-compiling to arm-eabi. Had to make a second release of both, because libgmp.dylib had a very unhelpful runpath setting.
- GCC 13.1.0 releases for Apple silicon
- MacOS GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)
- Release GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)

May 2023 What Are You Working On?
Libadalang2xml now in Alire. NB, if you’re on macOS, you’ll need one of the packages I’ve been building; alr/macOS can’t build langkit, libadalang.

macOS GCC 13.1.0 (x86_64)
Yes: see here.

What are does the hobbyist programmer miss comparing the paid versus free Ada ecosystem?
This is why, when considering whether to build & release a nn.2.0 macOS version, I’ll only do so if there’s a good reason: for example, GCC 12.1.0 couldn’t compile C source on macOS Ventura (version 13).

December 2022 What Are You Working On?
Over at Github, I’ve released GCC 12.2.0 for macOS: x86_64 for Intel Macs, aarch64 for Apple silicon. I have an arm-eabi build too, must get round to releasing it.

[ANN] XNAdaLib 2022 and GNATStudio 23.0wb for macOS Monterey.
XNAdaLib is a large set of ready to use Ada libraries prebuilt with GNAT FSF 12.1 for macOS.

Ada on apple silicon
For the next few years you’ll be able to run x86_64 binaries on Apple silicon. I produced an aarch64 package based on GCC 12.1.0, see here, but (a) GCC 12.1 won’t compile C code on Ventura, (b) if you want an ecosystem try Alire whose default toolset includes a GCC 12.2-based compiler, albeit x86_64!
What are some alternatives?
