Ada:: n. A {{Pascal}}-descended language that has been made
mandatory for Department of Defense software projects by the
Pentagon. Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that,
technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind
of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult
to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle
(one common description is "The PL/1 of the 1980s"; hackers find
the exception handling and inter-process communication features
particularly hilarious). Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron
who became the world's first programmer while cooperating with
Babbage on the design of his mechanical computing engines in the
mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch at the use her name has
been latterly put to; the kindest thing that has been said about it
it is that there is probably a good small language screaming to get
out from inside its vast, {elephantine} bulk.
Maybe the situation is different now?
