I agree that the background of people is what matters the most but, in 
general, I think that whatever is easier to use is better for hobbyists. 
  Object Pascal was designed for RAD, therefore it prioritized ease of 
use, and so did its IDEs.  Ada had different design goals, which make 
Ada more difficult for hobbyists.
