I'm not sure this is fair. Compared with the languages that were popular
in '83, sure, Ada was a little large. (C is a small language, and the
Pascals and BASICs of the time were small.) It's smaller than C++, currently
a popular language. The compiler frontend would be simpler than Fortran 90.
Java maybe fairly small, but the standard library is huge and growing.
And compared to implemented languages? Anyone take a look at GNU Pascal
recently? Visual Basic?
