Every time someone on Reddit or someplace asks "What's the appeal of Ada anyway?" I say "Think of Ada as boomer Rust."

It turns out that when you need to get the details right and be safe in a systems level language, development can be slow. This is a good thing. Studies with Ada projects compared to C have shown that time and money is saved in the long run due to fewer bugs and less maintenance. You just have to embrace that particular suck because it pays off in the end.
