awesome-ada VS alire

At the moment we have * Reddit, a news aggregator, Awesome Ada link list, and they work good too. (Thank involved people for this!) * Organization/company based sites, and they work good (e.g. adaic.org, ada-auth.org, sigada.org, adacore.com) * Chats, comp.lang.ada "news group" * Wiki books * Ada Programming (Is it updated?) * Ada Style Guide (It looks like to be never updated since uploading) * person-driven sites are often biassed, become outdated and abandoned * For example, adapower.com, getadanow.com, learnadanow.com are not updated (e.g. no Alire mention), have expired SSL certificate and dead links. (Sorry David, it's just for example!). * long(?) list of dead or frozen sites * adahome.com - alive, not updated * adaworld.com - has changed owner * planet.ada.wtf not resolved * ancient Public Ada Library (PAL) gone * per country community is mostly alive * adaspain.org is't responding

I too are partial to the Ada (the person) logos. The modern takes in the awesome-ada site are my favorite. In particular the previous one was very cool: https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada/tree/f0e3df247119dd3730c4bda6cac0e0c3fd93087c

All libraries listed in awesome-ada added to Alire.

awesome-ada

In order to find good examples for Ada, I think we should add all our projects to the curated list of awesome Ada resources. OK, it won't be curated if we add everything, but in fact it's far from being crowded. It can be curated later if it overgrows. In my opinion, both these projects (Dashera and Yotroc) ought to be included, and they aren't.

Depends on the libs, see [Awesome Ada][https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada]

If it's not in Alire, second step is looking in the curated list of Ada projects (and then follow README or BUILDING instructions): https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada

There are still many interesting projects in https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada and other sources, which are not indexed by Alire, so there is room for improvement.

In terms of bootstrapping your environment and getting started, I'd recommend looking at Vim-Ada and Awesome Ada. I also tried to write up some practical advice from my experience, which might be helpful.

On Awesome Ada list, you can find examples of Ada usage outside embedded development.

> I don't know if this tool solves the problem

Not yet but it's on my list as a "phase 2" of sorts for getada. I have an alpine VPS that I'm playing around with but the main issue is that while alire can be built for alpine, any compilers it pulls from its toolchain won't work with it since none of them are built against musl. We've been talking about it here https://github.com/alire-project/alire/issues/792#issuecomme...

Join the club! And see this issue.

Alire brings in msys2, so that's why I'm curious if it's still working on Windows. Easiest way to install alire on Windows is through the installer linked on their main website.

We are considering if Alire should change defaults in regard to dealing with Unicode sources. The details are https://github.com/alire-project/alire/discussions/1334 if you're interested and want to provide some feedback.

It's also worth mentioning that Ada and SPARK are very easy to pick up these days. There's Cargo-like tool Alire [1], Ada Language Server [2], official VSCode plugin [3] and Open VSX plugin [4], Emacs Ada mode [5] and GNAT Studio [6]. With Alire one can easily install GNAT FSF builds (meaning GPL with linking exception) and SPARK tools. All libre software.

Not to mention Ada being really versatile and well thought out language.

#1157 on Alire's GitHub page raises this issue as well. I've placed a comment over there. If the website's code is located on GitHub, it would be easier for users to contribute and get deployed automatically.
