In May 1979 Ada became the official name for the high-order
language of the Department of Defense. At this time the DoD
also announced that Honeywell/France was the winning contractor
of the design competition. The principal author of Ada was
Jean Ichbiah from France but other members of the design team
included citizens from the U.S., the U.K., and West Germany.
