How to handle platform/feature-specific code?
The typical way that I've seen is to use the build system to change out body implementations for the platform being compiled. This is modeled after the traditional notion of treating translation units like "modules" in C and C++. When I wrote Trendy Terminal, that's the route that I took. This route avoids virtual function call (dynamic dispatch) overhead.

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.

New Ada Folks (<2 years), what made you pick up (or leave) Ada?
It does, it's not enabled by default and you can check your code page with chcp. Trendy Terminal 0.0.1 handles this for you, I should be soon releasing a 0.0.2 version of Trendy Terminal which uses an RAII type to ensure this gets reset properly for you. I'd highly recommend using "Windows Terminal" over the plain Powershell or Command Prompt.

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.
