Coming across Robert Dewar's lecture on Ada's Past, Present, and Future; he=
 mentioned the four languages in Ada's history -- I haven't seen the docume=
nts [and wouldn't know where/how-to get them] and started wondering what wo=
uld have happened if Red had won? How would Ada be different?

Also for Blue, though he mentions the thought of that was "it's too weird."

Suppositions and wild guessing welcome.

PS: If anybody knows where I can get a copy of the docs for Red and/or Blue=
 I'd love to know.
