(...) Given the CPU power and hardware of the NXT, I see no reason why, say, the GNU ADA compiler couldn't be ported directly to output ARM assembler to run directly on the NXT (and then be used via a replacement firmware along with GCC, G++ etc) (19 years ago, 8-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

On the RCX there was an Ada implementation, which worked by translating Ada to NQC. Does anyone know if there are any plans to make Ada available on NXT, perhaps in a similar manner? Thanks Andrew (19 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I've noticed that the MindStorms User Guide in the NXT set and official Lego websites refer to using a Bluetooth "dongle" for your computer, but Bluetooth "adapter" is also commonly used elsewhere.
