No. I'd rather focus on getting them to work. We'll be open-sourcing a large majority of our work too.

If you want to create a new language, go for it. But there exists no other language that is as carefully engineered and considered than Ada. You're talking about making another Rust. 

In my mind, I'm on a mission to bring Ada to more general use, and to promote good engineering discipline that Ada already encourages.

I can't understand why you're here. If you think you've got such a great idea, go build it. I have no more to contribute to this discussion - I've got to get to work.
