Getada: rustup-like installer for Ada's toolchain/package manager
One of my goals with Ada is to have a one-liner copy-paste terminal command for people to install Ada so they can get to coding in just a few minutes. After extensive testing I feel like it's ready for general release[1]. Getada was inspired by Rustup[2] and aside from the init script is written entirely in Ada. It's completely open source and you can check out the readme and code on github[3]. It currently supports all non-windows platforms that Alire has an official release for, which at present is Linux (glibc) and MacOS. If you try running it on an unsupported platform, it tries to point…
Getada: rustup-like installer for Ada's toolchain/package manager launched on April 23, 2024 with 194 votes, #244 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Getada is a command-line installer for Ada's toolchain and package manager, inspired by Rustup. Written entirely in Ada except for its init script, it lets developers set up Ada with a single copy-paste command and start coding within minutes. The tool is open source and currently supports Linux and macOS, automatically downloading and extracting the latest Alire version for the user's platform. It directs unsupported platform users to alternative installation methods.

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…
Warp, a Rust-based terminal2022 · warp.dev · ▲946Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
ItoAug 2026 · ito.ai · ▲449I'm Evan and I made Ito.ai It's code review that actually runs your code. The result is that it finds more bugs with a smaller false positive rate. You get screenshots, videos, and run logs. I built Ito because manual verification sucks and I thought I could automate it. I've been a professional developer for 15 years and now more than ever, I'm just spending time making sure things work. I looked into all of the other agentic testing tools that click around a url you give them and frankly, they sucked. They just didn't work. I figured to be able to actually testing things you need to run…
OtaMay 2026 · ota.run · ▲68Hi HN, We're building Ota. Ota is open repo readiness infrastructure. It makes software repositories runnable and trustworthy for human, CI, and AI agents. The problem we kept seeing is that the real truth of how a repo gets set up and run is usually scattered across READMEs, scripts, CI config, env files, and maintainer memory. That slows onboarding, causes local and CI drift, and makes automation brittle. Ota gives each repo one explicit operational contract for what it needs, how it becomes ready, and how tasks should run. The core flow is: - `ota doctor` to diagnose what is missing -…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
