Thanks a lot Tuck,

I am honored to receive the ACM SigAda award for my contribution to the Ada=
 community.

It's been a blast working towards the broader adoption of Ada/SPARK, improv=
ing the ecosystem, and seeing the community evolve along the years. And thi=
s is a good opportunity for me to thank everyone who contributed to this ef=
fort, and/or who believed in our vision for the future of the Ada/SPARK com=
munity.

There is still a lot to do obviously, and I think the biggest challenge is =
to show those who have already seen Ada in the past how the language and it=
s ecosystem have evolved. But we entered an exciting time for Ada/SPARK, as=
 more and more people are questioning their choice of programming languages=
.

In my opinion, the most important topics for the future of Ada/SPARK are:

First, foster collaboration and welcome newcomers. This is why Alire and it=
s ecosystem are game changing.=20

Second, spread awareness on the amazing power of SPARK, and have it recogni=
zed as the truly bleeding edge technology it is.=20

Third, use the technology to show what it can do. Since my first "Make With=
 Ada" blog post in 2015, I have always been convinced that the best way to =
advocate for a technology is to use it. This is Make With Ada means to me.

Happy hacking!
