What's the competition, considering C#, Swift, Java or C?
I.e., an original work written by a German author, bought
and studied by many?
There used to be a number of books on Ada written in German when
the market had developed ideas of a government mandate, the ideas
producing corresponding opportunities.

:syntax enable

(Does vim feature in a modern feeling tool chain, though?)

Just use one that you can trust. If you need it to be more Ada-ish,
ChaCha20 cipher and Poly1305 digest have just been mentioned a few
postings ago. If algorithms can address securing the entire computation...

There used to be the PAL, which is the Public Ada Library, easy to find.
A bit dated, and reflecting the hype back then, I guess.

I gather that, currently, and in the past, Ada tools are also focusing
on topics of embedded computers, a fairly large and attractive market.
JSON or MIME, perhaps even interpreters are present, but I think not
central to control stuff near sensors and actuators. How does one compute
deterministic responses before deadline using Node.js?

Can you say how many? I imagine a publisher asking this question.
