What do you find unapproachable about Ada?

  For starter it looks completely alien my real introduction to Ada was with this article comparing it to Rust on solving advent of code [1] but it gives me that feeling when I try to read Haskell code (not that extreme). I did not actually give it a real chance though but its user base even more niche than Rust so idk. It has really cool properties (being able to define n bit datatypes is nice) but it is also leans to more on the imperative side so that also does not interest me.

    I wouldn't call it alien. If you've ever written even a little bit of Pascal, you should feel right at home in Ada.

      I never wrote a line of Pascal :/
