The last time this was submitted a question was asked and left unanswered: Why this versus Alire? You currently have two packages available, Alire has a lot more. So what distinguishes this from the primary alternative? Do you have a mechanism for easily creating packages from existing Alire crates to kickstart your set of packages and at least bring it to parity?

I’m not trying to compete with Alire. I do Ada for fun and for the sake of doing Ada.

I want to go back to fundamentals and learn by doing how foundational things work. So the plan is to, kind of, create my own programming world in Ada.

I may come up with a way to transfer Alire packages to Tada, I may not :)

This is, for now, for my personal use, but I couldn’t be more happy if someone else finds it useful :)
