> Ada should be considered dead because it doesn't have an npm full of super[1] useful[2] libraries?
Wait! There is Alire[1][2]! There is a list of "crates", you can easily include them into your project, and so forth. This is pretty much the same as https://crates.io or https://pkg.go.dev, which means people really should throw their misconceptions away and actually do some research before concluding that the language (Ada) is dead. A couple of quick searches quickly tells me that Ada is pretty much alive, with all of these "modern libraries with modern solutions", and full-on safety without performance loss.
