No mention of Ada at all. Very sad and disappointing - Rust basically has a carbon copy of all of its features. It deserves a fair shake..

Agreed. Whether rust has copied its features - I don't know, but I have re-implemented many of Ada's features for several projects in other languages (mostly C), so it seems there is an amount of basic features like storage pools/memory pools which are usually required for systems programming tasks.

Good for Rust then, I guess.

I tried Ada a while ago. It seems like a neat language. Maybe I’ll do a blog post on it too, but it turned into a rabbit hole.

I think one of the problems was where can I go to ask Ada questions?

You could start here,

Might you have any links or resources where I could read about the similarities between the two?

You could learn about Ada 2012 here.
