Yes, but you know bosses and managers, have some management and decision  
theories, and one of these, states a good strategy is to follow the crowd  
so that they will be sure to never be held responsible for anything: “I  
did nothing wrong, made no wrong decision, see you self, every one was  
thinking the same at that time! I am not responsible!” [Any resemblance to  
persons living or dead is purely coincidental (TM)].

Off-topic for people who read french: je les appelle “les responsables de  
toucher la paie” (cheese). End of Off-topic.

Seriously, while I enjoy Ada, one thing I bother about, is that there is  
even no real Ada competitor. I believe Ada is not the only one of the like  
which could exist and some other ways as good as this one may be possible.  
We would have more interesting comparison basis, talks and others. This  
would be fine to have a serious Ada competitor, the culture in that area  
would be richer, with even more interesting talks.

TBH: a target language is not the only topic, but we are precisely talking  
about this here.
