Laurie discusses Ada (and aerospace programming) in her latest video:
“without being shackled to a prehistoric language like Ada”
ho boy
When was c slapped together again?
or even c++, for that matter…
Remove curly brackets before flight
I mean she has been using C++ for a fair bit of her career so I guess that checks out.
It is quite easy for folks to write off and judge Ada merely based on surface level impressions, unfortunately.
That being said I do like LaurieWired’s content, just not so much her take on Ada .-.
Same. I admire her competence both as a software engineer and as an online educator. And I wouldn’t be surprised if more exposure to contemporary Ada changed her mind.
