It is not that Ada is dying (or Fortran or few others for that
matter), it is that all the developers are/have been moving to
the exciting new world of mobile and rich internet software
development, using HTML5 and Javascript.

Windows 8 all new apps development is/will be in HTML5 and
Javascript.

This is the new world order of software engineering. After 50 years
of computer science and programming languages research, the world has
decided it will be Javascript and HTML5.

If someone can make an Ada to Javascript compiler, may be there
is still a chance?
