Like Dimitry, I'm not sure such a conclusion can comes from such a
fact. But it is sure by the way that Ada is more widely used than
Eiffel. Ada is more impressive than Eiffel. May be somebody (I did it)
come first to Eiffel and then after goes to Ada, after they understand
that Eiffel cannot fulfill requirements of real world.

What is sure, is that Ada user like the spirit of Eiffel, and Bertrand
Meyer, the author of Eiffel, was largely inspired from Ada.

There is a kind of friendship between Ada and Eiffel.
