  • Ada-Lang and it's (more active than CLA) forum

    From Fernando Oleo / Irvise@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 11 13:30:32 2024
    Hi all,

    this is a simple and quick reminder (or announcement if its the first
    time you get notified) regarding Ada-Lang [1] and its Forum [2].

    Ada-Lang is a community maintained and supported webpage whose intent is
    to give a nice "landing page" to anybody wanting to learn Ada and become
    a hub for all Ada users. It has a few nice links to social media and
    chat-rooms (at the bottom), a section to read C.L.A directly on your web-browser [3], a formatted version of the ARM [4], tutorial and
    examples (WIP) [5] and a few other nice features.

    The Forum is quite active and it has a lot of topics. You can think
    about it as a modern web version of C.L.A :) Though, an account is
    required... And I do not mean to belittle C.L.A, it is a great resource!

    Everybody is more than welcomed to participate in the forums and help
    the website grow in quality and content. Everything is open source, so
    it is very easy to help around!

    Ada-Lang is a community maintained and supported webpage whose intent is
    to give a nice "landing page" to anybody wanting to learn Ada and become a hub for all Ada users.

    I was adding this site to AdaIC's "Learn" pages (I think it disappeared some years ago, it is good to see it back), and noted that nowhere does it
    identify itself as "Ada-Lang" or any other short name on the site itself. It just calls itself "Ada Programming Language", which is a bit grandiose
    (there are a number of sites that can lay claim to part of that title, but surely none that can lay claim to all of it). Within the Ada Community in particular, it helps to identify the site more precisely. And I don't think that many people really look at the links that they click on, I doubt many people using AdaIC do, so just using the domain name and assuming people
    know what it is without any identification elsewhere is not ideal.

    My two cents worth. (Humm, given prices these days, I don't think you can actually buy anything with two cents. That's probably one cliche that needs updating. ;-)

    Randy.
