@bsdphk Dijkstra is rolling in his grave and I can’t stop giggling.
I have to admit that I never thought I would see anyone attempt to salvage Ada’s reputation after the way it imploded at the DOD.
Thanks for sharing.

@MartyFouts I think that's unfair ? Everybody charged DoD 10x "because of Ada" - simply because they could get away with it, provided Ada didn't become mainstream. The perverse incentives of military procurement is not in any way a relevant factor, when Judging a programming language, as programing language. The point about everybody else converging on where they could have started 45 years ago is IMO, totally fair.
