Because ADA is maintained by big actors who think ADA is for "mission critical" stuff and not our lowly web apps.
Problem is, web is the new BASIC and many devs will start there and they will see rust first. And where's that ADA game engine ?
ADA can definitely claim tons of successes and very powerful constructs, but mindhsare is clearly not one of its selling points.
- Lucretia9 2y agoc is the new BASIC.
- pepa65 2y agoTo me it seems that python is the current BASIC.
- throwaway314155 2y agoWith respect, Rust isn't a great choice for web either. At least, not for web _sites_. I would still argue it's not very good for 90% backend API development either, but that depends on what's being done in the backend.
- 59nadir 2y agoRust is a bad choice for web and a meh/bad one for game development. It's certainly not good enough at either to have much of a technical edge over Ada.
- imtringued 2y agoThere are worse choices in the compiled web language niche. Most of the competitors don't qualify, because people don't want to do formal verification for their side projects.
