Something I pick from this article underpins that attitude of many
folk towards Ada.  Simply, Ada does not (as a standard language)
provide for construction of a Graphical User Interface.  Students (and
commercial software houses), in my experience, insist that it is no
use if you cannot draw pretty pictures with it.

I realize that this is a major ask, but perhaps a focus of the next
revision of Ada should be to remedy this situation.  Then an Air
Traffic Control System operated by an interactive GUI with the speed,
solidity and security that Ada brings would be a real possibility.
Think of the possibilities for industrial programming!
