The Ada standard library is massive and is included in the exception. There are "internal" "GNAT specific" packages which you can include in your project but there are not really any you need or would use in a general sense - there are even warnings you get at compile-time telling you that you are using something GNAT specific and are prefixed with GNAT.* instead of Ada.
Doubt that, looking at my list of applications - I have 124. So, 100mb * 124 = 12.4 gb and I have half a terabyte of storage... Windows 10 requires 16 gb of storage. Heck most phones have 64 gb these days.
We need to stop living in the past - this very issue has probably contributed to the scourge of Electron crap being thrown at our faces since it doesn't suffer from dependency hell they just throw a bunch of javascript into an encapsulated instance of chrome and call it a day.
Oh my, each app is going to be 20 mb bigger! This mattered 30 years ago, but now I would say we have a huge problem for end users with all of these "Package managers" and "dependency managers" getting tangled up because there are 5 versions of Perl needing 3 versions of Python and so on... I would be a much more happy Linux user if was able to drag and drop an exe. 100mb be damned
Wow, I checked but apparently the Pi 3 DOES meet the Windows 10 system requirements just barely. I wonder how fast the UI and Cortana run...

No reason to get excited folks - its YAEC (yet another electron component).
Me: Wouldn't it be great if we had a light-weight native chat app that was compatible with all of the many slow-resource intensive chat programs i am chained to?
Everyone else: We have solved your problem by creating a new standard resource intensive chat program that solves none of your problems! Also it has cool animations!
Well, you'll end up with toxic drinking water with this attitude. I don't know what the right solution is, but saying you don't know enough at this point to throw out your teflon pans and avoid certain products and that you don't want to research things is lazy and ignorant.
Citizen's levying large class-actions suits and making documentaries like "The Devil We Know" are perhaps the best tools we have to stop fascist corruption.
Don't look now, but PFAs have been "replaced" with a chemical called "GenX." These companies will just shapeshift their toxic sludge every time a major suit is won. Sickening...
There are ways for us "end-users" to get a hold of LTSC. First download the demo from microsoft then go to ebay to buy a key from some shady guy for 14$. Seems to work for me :P
Very creative project! Did you experience any issues doing pseudo-low-level programming with Javascript's lack of typing system or definite integer/float data-types?
Guess what? Electron is everywhere and everything. Electron is taking over - its raining hamburgers.... RUN
Seriously though, I guarantee it would nuke old hardware into orbit. Its unfortunately not feasible IMHO due to modern software glut. More power to Drew, but many people are forced into using Skype, Slack, Discord :/
It's all semantics - I don't understand why people want to defend a multi-billion dollar corporation, but, lets say, that NYC didn't write off 5 billion to Amazon. Could the city have budgeted more for the failing subway and nasty harbor given that they received more in taxes? Maybe.. if they really cared for the city.
All these corporations do with their profits and tax-incentives is hoard them overseas and spend them on stock buy-backs.
