Nice to see GNAT continuing in 2022 for Ada support. Ada was Rust just earlier in time. Was required to learn some Ada in college and must say it is an interesting language.

C++20 has already a lots of stuff to be implemented and I wonder how long will it takes . Then reading about C++23 can only makes me smile

Seeing Ada is cool. And it is imported into pkgsrc for NetBSD

[hoohoo]

How does one build GCC with AMD GPU support? Is it via openMP, or? I'm not seeing it. Perhaps I am so old now my eyes are not working well.

(edit) Aha! It's via OpenMP and/or OpenACC. I just had to squint a bit harder
