Before Ada was standardized it was unstandardized.

And before that it was called DOD-I.

It's like a baby, according to some parents, starts as a twinkle
in your mother's eye, then a dream in your father's mind, and
whoooosh: there's a baby Ada, and it gets named, and it gets
birthday presents: compilers, standardizations, and eventually
goes to the vaccination clinic to get debuggers.
