Languages get changed all the time. If a language does not adopt it dies.

Ada itself changed. we had Ada83, then came Ada95 to add OO features becuase
that what was needed to keep Ada moving along with the current needs of
software.

C changed, C++ came from C to add OO to it.

Fortran changed. now we have fortran 90.

COBOL changed.

Java is being changed to add generics to it.

may be the word change is troubling, may the word improve is better.

The point is, if a langauge does not adopt and improve with time, it will be
left behind, and people will go use (what is seen as) more modern languages.
