Generics Ada has generics. I don't know about Ada of the ancient time, and I don't care — as programmer on the edge of exploration, I don't care about old revisions of a language, unless I have to maintain

Ada has tools for concurrency as language primitives, which makes it easy to do things that would be a lot harder in C or C++. An Ada task looks at first like a sort of package, with a public part which

Ada is born as an imperative procedural language in the era of imperative procedural languages. With Ada 95 it entered the club of programming languages with object orientation features. Package ~= class

Dynamic predicate We have seen that if we define properly the domain of our problem, we can make the Ada's type system to assist us to avoid bugs. We have seen how we can constrain values, but it isn't

Let's explore a little bit the type system of Ada. Ada's type system is very important, because Ada is a strongly typed programming language and types define the exact domain of your program: they help

Packages are very importat to organize your project, like modules in other languages, and they are also useful to “encapsulate data” — you don't need to go object oriented in order to benefit from that.

The Ada's Hello World is as simple as this: with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; procedure Hello is begin Put_Line ("Hello world"); end Hello; Which with a proper syntax highlight looks better:

I know I've left behind my series of “music lessons” (here the last lesson), and I promise I'll post other lessons before the end of my life (which, I hope, won't be soon) — and also I owe an apology to
