> it's disheartening that this essentially boils down to a failure of hype. Maybe also, but not only. In contrast to Rust, Ada docs have been awful, and as long as you didn't get a commercial toolchain you had to play with some gimped version (and the really free version didn't come out until the language was 20+ years old), the build system was as “good” as C, people complain that Rust is verbose, but Ada was still a notch over, the memory model of Ada is a mere reflect of Rust's one, and (maybe I'm being subjective here) Rust's stdlib and philosophy is leagues over Ada's (Option, Iterator, closures, Result, ...). Ada had the potential to be a Rust 30 years before, but it was never the goal of its owners.
