New Gnat 3.15p (GNU Ada)

[file13]

i have to give a shout out for one of my favorite languages and development environments, the GNAT folks just released the next public version of gnat, the GNU Ada part of GCC:

http://libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT/
ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/3.15p

one of the neatest features i've noticed is that gnatmake can now handle multiple "main" files. now you can get EVEN LAZIER and just do

gnatmake *.adb

and build everything in the dir...talk about easy to write makefiles....

:D

good good good stuff!

if you're bored, sick of dealing with C++ or Java, or just want to check out a great language give Ada a look:

Nice to see there's still work on gnat :) Do you know if Ada has Cocoa bindings?

[GnuVince]

Not yet. Last week, it was under construction. They will ship it this week probably.
