The first language I learnt was C. And then I learnt Java, C# 2.0,
Javascript. I have never seen any language which is as both beautiful
and safe as Ada. I hate programs with errors. Nowadays, people talk
too much about Ruby, Python as hacking tools. Hacking seems to be
overrated. And where is Ada? I really don't want to see Ada in only
embedded system. I want to see it in daily life.

There is a project called AuroraUX, which is written in Ada. But that
project is too large for me to involve.

I think Ada community should spend more time on opensource software.
That's the best way to make Ada more popular. Why don't you make a new
browser in Ada? Google Chrome, IE, Firefox are written in C++. They
are hacked all the time. Isn't it wonderful if there is a browser
which can not be hacked? Just think about this, an operating system
like AuroraUX require too much effort. But a browser require much less
effort (at least I think so).
