Ada has existed for 40 years. This directly means it has nothing to do with being conservative.

And how many people know Ada vs. C? Orders of magnitude more right?

I think that’s the problem here - it’s important to analyze orders of magnitude accurately. C isn’t a little more conservative than Rust or Ada. It is orders of magnitude more conservative.
