I remember hearing a rumour that Larry Wall seriously considered writing Perl 6
in Ada.  One of his quotes on the language:

    I remember being impressed with Ada because you could write an infinite
    loop without a faked up condition. The idea being that in Ada the typical
    infinite loop would normally be terminated by detonation.
