I think this is rather an unfortunate analogy. BMW does not produce
universal cars, at least in terms of price and fuel consumption. On the
contrary, Ada was thought as a universal language in all respects. It is
also quite inexpensive now (excluding embedded platforms.) So 0.1% of the
language market should be definitely counted as a failure, especially if we
look at WHAT for "languages" are traded there.
