Hi all,

I created a new tool to allow embedding any file in an Ada, C or Go binary.
While embedding files, you can apply some transformations such as
running a Javascript minifier (closure), compressing the file, encrypting it, ...
The tool generates Ada, C or Go files that you compile with your program.
In its simplest form, you can access the embedded content as a:

type Content_Access is access constant Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array;

So the generated code only depends on Ada.Streams.

There are many modes that are explained in the documentation.
For an overview, have a look at:

And don't hesitate to fork, hack, and submit pull requests to:

https://github.com/stcarrez/resource-embedder

Well, for me it was a fun project :-)

Ps: Go has a `go:embed` but It was fun to write the Go generator :-)
