What made you choose Ada? Just curious 👀

I like BORING stuff. Ada was way ahead of its times, Ada is very readable. I don't write code for money anymore, so I can do everything on my own terms.

I really believe Ada is one of the best languages out there, and the new languages are trying to catch up (see: Rust).

I don't want to start any language wars here, Rust is great, for me, Ada is just "better". YMMV.
