    Pretty-print error messages of the ATS Compiler

  • In case you're looking to explore, please, for the sake of your sanity, use this as a wrapper compiler - https://github.com/sparverius/ats-acc. It will make reading the error messages quite bearable. Also, the Google groups (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ats-lang-users) is quite active.

  • polyglot

    Tool to count lines of source code. (by vmchale)

  • I have not programmed in it myself, but I have read about it and watched the presentation A (Not So Gentle) Introduction To Systems Programming In ATS. ATS is a lot closer to C than Haskell or Idris, at least for the kind of programming it is meant for. You can see ATS as a language that allows you to safely do the things you'd normally do in unsafe C (or Rust), by letting you provide an actual proof that what you're doing is OK. I don't think anyone has ever said ATS is particularly pleasant to program in, but there are some crazy people like Vanessa McHale that actually write real programs in it. I still use her polyglot tool for source code listings. It's the only "real world" ATS program I have seen.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • learnxinyminutes-docs

    Code documentation written as code! How novel and totally my idea! (by mb64)

  • A little self-promotion: if you're interested in learning ATS, I recently wrote a short introduction in the "Learn X in Y Minutes" style: https://github.com/mb64/learnxinyminutes-docs/blob/ats/ATS.html.markdown
