Just a thing that I noted when last looking at
ACM Queue (a while ago), namely that the language
selection seems to be in accord with

(a) ACM sponsors,

(b) perception of dominating languages in magazines
for job seekers, CS professors, and labor merchants.

And maybe they don't have Ada staff to look at solutions
written in languages other than the currently supported?

("Currently" is encouraging, anyway.)
