HAC - HAC Ada Compiler - is a small, quick, open-source Ada compiler, covering a subset of the Ada language.
HAC is perhaps the first open-source (albeit partial) Ada compiler fully programmed in Ada itself.

The best alternative to shell scripting

HAC is a fantastic tool to replace Bash with a high level, strong typed and friendly script interpreter. It 's really worth a try. We use it now at Sowebio as the basic script tool to manage our dedicated servers cluster. HAC is part of Genesix v3, our own cluster manager (Hot instances migration, Instance groups, Tiers-II and Tiers-III instances, Backup management, Certs management, etc.). Many thanks to Gautier for this amazing HAC, our new Swiss knife :)
