Don't forget that the ++ operator has been added ; )

Hmm, but aren't these languages easily compatible with C and C++. I know in Ada++ you just have to link the library at build time and generate a pkg based on a header file.

func Foo (X : C.int) return C.bool with Import, External_Name => "Foo";

I suppose though that you are right. A majority of modern programmers probably view sophisticated tools and pre-built packages (a la NPM) as necessities and hardly care about performance or code quality.

Sometimes I wonder if the failure of languages like these - along with Ada is purely aesthetic one.

Who knows, maybe Rust and something like Ada++ http://www.adapplang.com/ will be able to dethrone C++, or Java some day.
