Welcome to the Ada 83 Memory site !
with TEXT_IO; use TEXT_IO; procedure WELCOME is begin PUT_LINE( "Welcome to Ada 83 Memory site !" ); end;
This is a place dedicated to the ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A-1983 version of the Ada computer programming language ; version known today as Ada 83 to distinguish it from later versions (Ada 95, Ada 2005, Ada 2012).
The Ada language still exists but evolved so much that we wanted to preserve traces of the original version of the language. Ada 83 is a peculiar programming universe that deserves preservation, both for computer history purpose and as an example of a specially well designed tool for software reliability, readability, maintenance. We believe that Ada 83 is still useful forty years later. This site aims at gathering history facts and tools or examples written in Ada 83.
Feel free to participate to the elaboration of Ada 83 Memory if you are a veteran of the 1980ies . Nonetheless be aware that only Ada 83 is of interest here, no Ada 95 or later version will be considered (or only marginally if it serves an analytical purpose).
