What makes you think it's working for Fortran? A "lot of discussion on"
comp.lang.fortran doesn't mean it's made Fortran more popular, just that it's
generated discussion among those already using Fortran.
But even if it works for Fortran, I doubt it would help Ada. As I've said
before, Ada is a S/W-engineering language. Since 98% of developers aren't S/W
engineers, nothing will make S/W-engineering languages popular.
