vim-ada VS fpm

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.

Vim-Ada has links to a built user-contributed docset to use.

There's also instructions about how to install a Zeal docset for Ada in the vim-ada instructions.

This version brings a couple (literally) new plugins (EasyMotion, QuickUI), one removed (Vim-Header) and one theme replaced (Gruvbox with Gruvbox8). For more detailed information about the changes, please look at the release page: https://github.com/thindil/vim-ada/releases/tag/v12.0

Due to often work with multi-language projects I use NeoVim with many plugins. I even created the project to easily configure Vim/NeoVim on GitHub. Generally, I looked at GPS and VS Code and put into Vim all these parts which I liked: like support for Ada Language Server, Zeal etc.

You could look at Programming Fonts page, probably the best place to try to find any good font for you. Personally, I use FiraCode mostly due to ligatures. You can look here to see how the Ada code looks with FiraCode.

If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.
