A smart person has created a Fython, which is basically Fortran
but with a Python syntax!

https://github.com/nicolasessisbreton/fython

"Fython is Fortran with a Python syntax.
Fython code can be used in Python with a standard import statement.
Fython makes Fortran development experience similar to Python.
"

This is in order to make Fortran popular again. One writes Fortran,
but using Python syntax, and it generate Fortran output.

There is a lot of discussion on it at comp.lang.fortran

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.fortran/fc3jF8FLsOU

This made me think, why not Aython? which is Ada using Python syntax?

May be this will make Ada programming more popular, since it
seems these days everyone is in love with Python.

Any thoughts? Will this be the magic trick to make Ada popular? Could
this work for Ada? Do you see any technical reasons why this
might not work for Ada as it does for Fortran?
