I spent a few days researching languages c/c++/pascal/python/java.....pro's and con's.....and chose ADA (yes i want the static type checking) About 10 Years ago i worked on a project on an embedded ada system on unix box's. at the time scripts were used to compile/bind all directories which had one package each in them - i did not set up the scripts. Everything was pretty manual. Rational was around then but i did not use it. Right now I am running suse 9.1, i use KDE and have installed kdevelop 3.1, obviously have gnat on machine. This is a hobby and hence i have no budget. this kdevelop did crash a few times and was not that intuitive. i spent enough time comparing languages......days..... and now just want to get cracking...... i need a way to reasonably set up 10 or 15 packages so at least i can get coding but i don't want to be working stone age like the Flintsones. but before i get stuck in is there a better one or should i just get going with this kdevelop in the short term at least? Is there a clearly best free integrated development environment? Is there a big difference between free and propriority IDE for the small'ish project of mine? i did start this once before, again 10 years ago, using turbo pascal and it was 1200 lines, not all the features or analysis i know i need so this could be 2000 to 3000 lines i expect or maybe more. This time maybe interfacing to existing statistics packages whether they be ADA or c such as general scientific library which is in C. I found a sourceforge.net. adaproject - will this be useful? any suggestions, since i have been out of it would be appreciated. Phil
