    septum - interactive searching for contexts matching and excluding parameters

    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.
  • Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Mar 2022
    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.

    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.
  • Is Ada used only for embedded systems?

    No. I use Ada to write programs for desktops. I wrote one for code search, because other tooling couldn't handle the amount of code I threw at it at work.

    Jump-to-definition works pretty well with the Ada Language Server and also in GNAT Studio. Outside of that, I lookup things sometimes in "Programming in Ada 2012" by Barnes. I also wrote a tool I use for code discovery and load all the libraries that GNAT provides in one of my .septum/.configs.
  • [Alire] Septum, a tool for code search, my Crate-of-the-Year Entry
    2 projects | /r/ada | 29 Sep 2021
    Septum is my crate of the year submission.
  • [Alire] Has anyone made any Crate of the Year submissions yet?
    2 projects | /r/ada | 13 Aug 2021
    Septum is the big thing I'm entering. Everything I do in Ada revolves around that hobby project since I use it daily to search large codebases (many millions of lines), but the version I use on a daily basis is the several-month-old alpha in Chocolatey (I just haven't made a new one recently, though I should). I wrote most of it before I ever started using Alire, so I had to convert it to a crate, and there's a bunch of cleanup work. I wrote a bunch of libraries in Alire to support it (dir_iterators, trendy_test, progress_indicators, trendy_terminal), so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to submit those separately as well.
