According to https://hackernoon.com/best-coding-languages-to-learn-in-2019-b49b49250a25

Python has become very popular because

"Part of the reason for Python’s popularity is that it
gets rid of the annoying conventions of other languages, such as
using semicolons to indicate the end of a statement. This may
explain why Python is replacing Java as the primary language
of instruction for teaching computer science — not just at
universities but in high school and elementary school programs too"

So I'd like to make a suggestion: Remove ";" from Ada.

I know this might be hard to do, as it might cause some bugs
in current programs, but a conversion tool should take care of
things.

Well. It is one way to try to make Ada popular :)
