Ada

Ada is a general purpose, compiled programming language. It features strong static typing, packages, exceptions, generics, tasking, object-orientation and contracts.

Test your installation

Check that GNAT is installed correctly by building a simple program, as follows:

hello.adb

with Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Hello is
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello, Arch!");
end Hello;

You can compile it with gnatmake:

$ gnatmake hello

gcc -c hello.adb
gnatbind -x hello.ali
gnatlink hello.ali

Then run it:

$ ./hello

Hello, Arch!
