I _really_ want to do something productive in Ada. Its just that every time I sit down and look at it the pragmatist in me balks and I end up doing it in C or Scala. It reminds of ALGO 60. A Language that on paper should have been the goto language ( even had the same DoD support Ada had/has ) , but never gained traction outside a small niche.
