Ada was standardized on this day, February 17,
1983 -- 15 years ago! Can you believe that?!

Actually, Ada was standardized on 1980 Dec 10 (MIL-STD1815), revised in
1983 (ANSI/MIL-STD1815A, adopted by ISO 1987), and revised again in
1995.

Before Ada was standardized it was unstandardized.
And before that it was called DOD-I.
It's like a baby, according to some parents, starts as a twinkle
in your mother's eye, then a dream in your father's mind, and
whoooosh: there's a baby Ada, and it gets named, and it gets
birthday presents: compilers, standardizations, and eventually
goes to the vaccination clinic to get debuggers.
