Mike Shah a computer science professor who teaches programming topics, primarily modern C++, C, D, game, and computer graphics. He is also a former senior 3D Graphics Engineer who worked at several game and graphics companies. He also has a YouTube channel where he covers a variety of software development topics with a focus on D and C++.
Over the past several months, he has been exploring several alternative high performance languages as part his First Impressions series, devoting a full episode to each one. Instead of giving a canned presentation, he lets the audience ride along on his journey as he tries to uncover the language's capabilities while sharing his impressions along the way.
His latest episode #16 covers Ada, which should be exciting after already covering 15 of them:
I would like to see Ada grow. Its clean syntax, rich expressive capabilities, and early error detection by the compiler due to strict typing create a very pleasant experience during development. This year, the language got a new standard. Recently, a package manager and a community index were created. There's an extension/LSP for vscode, etc. Along with great educational materials on learn.adacore.com, it's easy to pick up and start using this language.
PS I created a community on p.d two days ago: https://programming.dev/c/ada
