HN discussionI don't know Python, Go, or nodejs, but with regard to general purpose programming, you can look at some of the free tools and libraries on AdaIC ( https://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/tools-libraries/ ). There is a man named Gautier, who actively develops a variety of tools (e.g. 3D gfx, Excel file producer, games, code editors, etc).
