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.

Show HN: Getada: rustup-like installer for Ada's toolchain/package manager
> 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...

Since MSys2 dropped support for Ada (!), how can I build Ada projects such as sdlada and gprbuild-bootstrap that require command-line tools (e.g. makefiles or bootstrap.sh) on Windows?
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.

Your feedback wanted on Alire policy about Unicode
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.

FOSDEM 2023 – Get Started with Open Source Formal Verification
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.

yet another Ada web site?
#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.
- Please explain how to control dependencies for commercial Ada software development in Alire.
