It's really too bad about Ada. Because (at least in the US) it was a
big iron, defense project only, almost impossible to get into the game
type language in its heyday, it never got traction with the masses.

And in an era of simple languages like Pascal, C, Dbase and the like,
no college was going to teach Ada, especially when the majority of the
students would get Ada jobs. Good luck getting an Ada job if you
couldn't get a security clearance. Or if you didn't want to be part of
the war machine.

It's really too bad.
