i am working on an application for the Mac in THINK Pascal (which i
just purchased a few months ago). i've run into a few things that i
would much prefer to be using Ada for (like generics, exceptions,
tasking) and was wondering what is available for doing Ada on the Mac.
a few months ago there was a lot of discussion (in comp.lang.ada) about a
compiler for the Mac for about $150 (AdaZ?). that's what i spent on
the Pascal compiler but i had a few concerns:
- what Ada compilers are available for the mac
- how much does it cost
- can you call all the standard Mac routines from Ada
- does the compiler(s) have a syntax directed editor (like THINK)?
- are there good debugging facilities for it
- has anyone developed real applications using it
- if so, how is the speed of the applications
- does anyone take a trade in on a brand new Pascal compiler (-:
if this is a frequently asked question, i apologize, and just send me
an email response.
thanks in advance
