foogered··on Inform 7 v10.1.0 is now open-source
This is so exciting to see! I became obsessed with Inform7 a while back after I learned about it from "The best things and stuff of 2014" [1]. I remember scouring the web for its source code and being really bummed it wasn't open source. I can't wait to finally dive in! I've never seen a literate program of this scale before.

Exactly.

I think Apple is primarily trying to attract artists and other creative types with the Pro. A good friend of mine is planning on giving up his Wacom and moving to an iPad Pro instead.

foogered··on Who's Using Ada? Real-World Projects Powered by the Ada Programming Language
I used Ada during my first internship (avionics software). However, the group I was part of was in the middle of phasing out Ada in favor of C/C++. This was around 2010-2012.
