Probably because none of the NR team knows Ada, or maybe the market is not
judged to be that large. The suggestion to do a f90 version fell on fertile
ground because a) f90 was clearly better than f77 and b) one of the team was
already heavily involved in Thinking Machines' version Fortran, which was
quite close to the f90 array language. In the right place at the right time.
