> ugly It makes much use of English words rather than symbols. This was intended to maximise readability, even at the expense of writeability. It's not the way most modern languages are designed, sure enough, and I'm not sure it really improves readability, but I'm not especially au fait with Ada so I'm not the best person to comment. > unintuitive This strikes me as another way of saying unfamiliar. Forth and Haskell are also extremely unintuitive languages, to people who don't know them, but that's not really much of a criticism.
