Honestly, I am observing closely the way some new system languages evolve - D, Go, Rust and I see a large intersection of features with Ada.

I am always amazed that no valid discussion/comparison of those languages and Ada erupt in these threads :( Ada is not as bad as it's painted to be.

Ada has a reputation for being dramatically overengineered, especially among programmers with exposure to Ruby or Haskell (or Lisp, naturally). I've never seen a demonstration of how well it works for rapidly prototyping code and "filling in the blanks" iteratively. Would you mind providing examples?
