I tried C but those pointers are an annoyance, I tried C++ but there to the pointers and it's OO weirdness kicked in. Then I stumbled on an Ada tutorial, I dislike the Pascal-like coding style but there seems to be no pointer and it can be compiled to native byte code ! I would like to know, what good books are there for learning ada ( some sort of tutorial/reference book). How "fast" is compiled Ada code by this I mean is it like C/C++ or more like Java? I read that it is possible to interface Ada with C? How is this done? Can I use say stdio.h in an Ada program? How about interfacing with C++ or objective C? Are there any GUI librairies (windows, BSD, Mac OS X)? Has any Ada compiler been made to compile code for microcontrollers ( PIC, 68hc11, etc )? How does the threading work? I think this should suffice for a first post.
