That's why Toyota moved to Ada, because their C or C++ software caused crashes.

Pattern matching is in all functional languages, afaik.

Ada has ranges and subtypes.

  type Angles is 0 .. 360;
  subtype Acute_Angles is range Angles'First .. 90;

Subtypes can be used with the parent type without conversions.

Pascal only has subranges, iirc.

c is the new BASIC.

FYI, re the ranges in rust, you can do a range minus 10 in Ada, I use it in my SDL2 bindings.

If the price is not on the website, you can't afford it.

Your first point cancels out your fourth.

Ada has the concept of Pools, the heap is one of the pools, you can define your own.

Pretty sure Java in vscode and android studio places block names after }'s because it's hard to read otherwise.

You talk about C and C++ yet call Ada "ancient," C from 1969 and C++ from 1979.

Whereas Ada's first version is from 1980 and first standardised version (different to 1980) in 1983. Yeah, "ancient."

GetIntoGamedev is not old, he's in his 20's. The issue is, is that people are not prepared to trying something if it doesn't look like C or C++.

What are the options required to build an android gcc these days?

Alire is a frontend to the toolchain, including gprbuild, it just handles grabbing the projects as well.
