While I've never done any significant programming in Ada (anyone know
of a good GNUada compiler? ;)  I wouldn't want it going away.
More programming languages mean more variety, and with the vast multitudes
of hardware availible (and, consequently, problems to be solved),
programmers need all the tools (i.e. languages) we can get.

I'd like to see more languages rather than less.
