Ruby and Ada

From mockturtle@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 14 01:46:06 2022

As you can guess, my language of choice is Ada, but for small things (often "fast and dirty") or to extract stuff from text files, I use Ruby which I prefer over its direct competitor (much more popular) Python.

Then I read this [1]

Its [of Ruby] creator, Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto, combined parts of his favorite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp)

This could explain the affinity... (Matz is an Adaist! :-))

BTW: for the small things you describe, you could be tempted by HAC (see the post about HAC a few hours later) :-)...

.
whether it's small and dirty or something big, PL/I is a great all-rounder.

I second that.

We wrote in HAC more than 10K lines of code for about 50 scripts (the biggest ones being 3000 lines, the smallest ones less than 20 lines).
I know Ruby (also very nice for small jobs) but HAC is much better (1) and certainly faster too (2)... We also coded a lot in Bash (there are sysadmin here too :)

(1) One of the great things about HAC is that all HAC code can be compiled by GNAT.
(2) HAC is 7 times faster than Bash

And, recently, HAC handles packages... This allows us to have modularity in the Ada way... HAC is a golden nugget ;)
