I think I'd like to get into Ada more, but I'm always a bit unsure on how to select the right toolchain (is the Dragonegg/LLVM option viable today?) etc.

I would love to see something like "Rustlings" for Ada, as I found that was a good way to practice not only writing code, but reading it as well.

I was able to self-teach Haskell and Erlang without any major problems, and even managed to ship applications written in it commercially.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

(Looks like I found a use for the new Rosetta on my M1 Mac.... I wonder when there will be builds for aarch64 for Darwin)
