assbot: Logged on 27-03-2016 08:32:09; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can you speak to why ada's usgenesis shouldn't set off klaxons?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ada sucks in 1,001 ways, but unlike every other known non-c, introduction of mystery meat layer between the source semantics and resulting binary is not one f them. which unfortunately makes it the ~only~ sane choice for critical realtime system.
asciilifeform: (i considered and rejected ml and haskell for this reason. go and explain how they work! can spend a fucking career on that. ick)
asciilifeform: (the other choice, if trying to escape from ada, is to ditch the c-machine silicon, but i just checked my sofa cushion and still did not find a spare $10m in it with which to do this.)
asciilifeform: incidentally, gnat is actually written in ada. and is quite readable... (in as much as such a thing can be called readable)
asciilifeform: i've been struggling with my gag reflex for > year now, the language is pascal-ugly. but ~there is no sane alternative~ known.
asciilifeform: because items like 'no overflows, fuck off', 'standard and rationale books', 'i can compile this by hand', or 'i can saw the binary open in ida and it is pretty clear what chunk of asm corresponds to what line of src' are NOT NEGOTIABLE.
asciilifeform: the ~total unavailability of derplibraries (~no open-sores 'ecosystem') in ada land also has a cleansing effect.
asciilifeform: sorta what common lisp looked like circa 2000 or so.

asciilifeform: shinohai: it's a misery, i must warn.
asciilifeform: using the language really feels like 'penance' for lifetime of bug-creation in c/cpp

shinohai: "JGNAT is a version compiled from the Ada programming language to Java bytecode." <<< srsly?
asciilifeform: shinohai: nfi.
asciilifeform: never even heard of such.
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall a dark age jvm backend for gcc, perhaps it turned into this.
shinohai: That looks gross, no thanks.
asciilifeform: anyway who exactly frces you to use weird backend.
asciilifeform: jvm dun exist on my planet.
asciilifeform: on a happy note, appreciate how much ~aggressive sanity~ is baked into ada. it is routine, for example, to program ~without a heap~ !
asciilifeform: as in, motherfucking constant-space.
asciilifeform: (you ~can~ use heap. but its presence is not presupposed by the language constructs.)
