Continued Progress in Ada Language!

Following the launch of Ada 2022, active discussions are underway to explore potential improvements for enumerated types. The primary objective is to streamline the process of setting representation values by integrating their specifications with type declarations. Various proposals are on the table, ranging from permitting overlapping representations to introducing unordered enumerations. This underscores Ada's dedication to continual enhancement. Your insights, as Ada practitioners, are invaluable – share your perspectives on these proposals and contribute to shaping the future of Ada programming!

Explore our new lightweight-threading library, bridging the gap until Ada 2022's anticipated parallel features arrive. Seamlessly manage threads with customizable scheduling using our plug-in architecture. Choose from our two LWT scheduler options: an OpenMP wrapper and a native Ada work-stealing solution.
