  • gnat-packs

    Self-contained binary distribution of the FSF GNAT Compiler and other free tools

    • I maintain binary builds of FSF GNAT for common platforms here: https://github.com/annexi-strayline/gnat-packs

  • AURA

    The AURA Reference Implementation (by annexi-strayline)

    • Also we have a BSD-licensed package manager/build tool here: https://github.com/annexi-strayline/AURA, the readme points to the docs which have a getting started/hello world example. With AURA you don't need gprbuild or any of those things, just GNAT. However ALIRE has a bigger selection of "crates", and is a bit more main-stream. Use what you like!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • libadalang

    Ada semantic analysis library.
