The Ada paradox(es)

Published: 26 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Ada was designed as a tool tailored for industrial software engineering. When we compare the initial requirements with the current language, the match is excellent. However, Ada did not gain the popularity that was expected by its designers - without any technical reason for this. This talk explores this paradox, and many others related to the gap between the goals of the language and its actual use.
