Re: ada without ada libraries?

Hi!

Typically a script language (for instance Lua) needs a compiled one
(here, C) to speak to the broader world. The interpreter, the run-
time, the library components, and so on are built with the compiled
language in order to have products in machine code (.exe, .dll in
Windows for instance).

Ada is a general-purpose, compiled language, so the relationship would
be different. You can make a whole standalone application fully in Ada
(with GUI, databases, number crunching, compression,...).
There is a broad standard Ada library that is very useful, it would be
silly to ignore it a priori just because of your experience with Lua!
Additionally, Ada can access numerous components written in classical
languages like Fortran or C via the Import pragma.
