Hmm, circa 2012. I've checked in on it a handful of times in the ensuing years, but I came across Go in 2014 and it ended up suiting my needs almost perfectly (rapid application development, simple, great performance, mostly safe, fantastic tooling/ecosystem, zero-runtime-dependencies, etc). As for where the hostility took place, it was most Ada proponents who would pop up in /r/programming, here on HN, etc. I'm sure the circumstances select for the most toxic folks from any community, but it seemed especially potent from Ada folks (could have been bad luck, ymmv and all that). Would love for Ada to modernize and improve tooling/ecosystem, but between Go and Rust, I'm afraid that the advantages for a modern Ada might be marginal. It seems unfortunate for Ada that it didn't modernize prior to 2012; it could have eaten both Go and Rust's lunch before they even existed.
