I’m a software engineering developer from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
One of the rare cases where I hear of a death and check wikipedia to still see the word “is”. I wonder how long confirmation will take.
I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.
I believe it stands for Free/Libre Open Source Software. I think the idea is to explicitly indicate both free as in beer and free as in speech. However, to me it just sounds like throwing in a romance term for the sake of it. But maybe I’m just ill versed on the whole free/libre divide?
