The library Simple Components for Ada v4.59 provides Julia 1.6.3 bindings.

Julia is now compatible with MinGW-based libraries like GTK, which makes it finally possible to use in Windows applications for scripting purposes, in particular as an alternative to Python. The bindings impose no static dependency on Julia run-time. The library is loaded dynamically.

The Ada bindings support Julia arrays, named tuples, conversions between Ada and Julia data types, exception handling, calling Julia from Ada subprograms and subprograms Ada from Julia.

Changes to the previous version:

- The functions Eval\_char\_array, Get\_Safe\_Restore, Load\_File\_String, Set\_Safe\_Restore were added to Julia bindings;
- Functions To\_Julia and Value added to Julia bindings for Ada types Time and Day\_Duration;
- To\_Julia defined on tuples fixed when types of elements are not directly visible.
