awesome-ada VS septum

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* Ada Style Guide (It looks like to be never updated since uploading) * person-driven sites are often biassed, become outdated and abandoned * For example, adapower.com, getadanow.com, learnadanow.com are not updated (e.g. no Alire mention), have expired SSL certificate and dead links.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.

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.

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

septum - interactive searching for contexts matching and excluding parameters

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."

I'd appreciate any issues or suggestions you want to report on GitHub to help me improve this.

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.

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.

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.

Here's a short demo video of his Septum tool mentioned in the article: https://asciinema.org/a/459292

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.
