Subject: Why not combine Ada and C++?

Hi, I am a proficient C++ programmer, who also admire Ada's
reliability and power. After tasted a little Ada, I must admit that I
like it. I alway say to my friends, though C++ is a great language,
it's population is just because it's *C*++. If the most pop PL in
mid-1990s was Ada, the whole life would be much easier.
But the history is history. Though I know Ada's syntax is much clearer
and readable than C++'s, nowadays, most of programmers are familiar
with C-family languages' syntax. Some of my friends don't like Ada
just because it's not case-sensitive!
I'm an SCJP (Sun's Certificated Java Programmer), I clearly remember
what the teacher said, "Java is created with C++'s syntax and
Smalltalk's semantic". I always thought, if there is a language with
C++ syntax and Ada95's semantic, it must be very pop!
I don't know much about Ada, so I can't figure out how is the
feasibility. Please comment it.
