   It seems Ada is a language to take notice. It seems it's getting a new cargo like tool and a package index.

   Got this info from - https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/13pd2ho/comment/jl93lno/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

     tbh I'd rather learn Ada than Rust

     Yeah, they are really nice, luckily my language of choice also has them, that and using enums as indexes into arrays, it's really nice to not having to use heavy hashmaps when an array can do the work :)

     @vascorsd @feld Haven't touched it in ages but good to see that there is still momentum. I can recommend dipping your toe in it, I always enjoyed it. A bit verbose but nice.
     Also good to see where refined types are coming from. But be warned: you'll likely miss them instantly in other languages. ;-)

     @feld I should try it. It really looks nice. I looked at some page some time ago and was confused at the amount of stuff I had no idea about, but these 2 things (a package manager + learning material) make me want to do it.

     rust or ada, is the question really. ada seems more interesting.
