Hi All,
I am a mechanical engineer, and I have become interested in robotics
embedded systems. I have little experience in this area other that
plugging in electronic components and clicking run.
I had recently started to learn Java, when I found out about Ada. From
what I have seen of Ada, I really like the way that the language is
structured, that is has a proper standard, and it seems like a good
choice for the types of projects that I have in mind.
I have down loaded GNAT with the GPS IDE, as well as the work bench for
eclipse (although I haven't had it working yet), and have been trying to
work my way through the examples.
My concern lies in the smaller community for Ada. As an
amateur/hobbyist, am I biting off more than I need to?
