Abstract

There is a common sentiment that installing Ada's tooling is difficult, but that isn't the case. Getting started with Ada has never been so easy! In this lightning talk I explain how to go from having nothing Ada related on your computer to compiling your first program in less than 2 minutes using "GetAda" -- the unofficial installer for Ada's package manager, Alire.

GetAda is fully written in Ada and provides an easy one-liner that works on many unix-like systems: https://github.com/aj-ianozi/getada
