Ada?

In my opinion, Ada needs some better tooling to become accessible.

Though I'll have to give the Ada LSP a go again, hoping that it plays nicely with JetBrains' suite.

Um what? Which is to say -- how is Ada more ergonomic, if ergonomic means "relating to or designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment"? I'm curious about what advantages Ada has there.

Ada has a more traditional syntax compared to Rust, for good or for bad.

How do you mean? "Traditional" in the sense that Pascal and Ada are old, and Rust is not? Rust may be ML in C's clothing, but isn't C's clothing more ergonomic for most C/C++ types?

I wished Rust had developed as an ML in Pascal/Ada's clothing but as you said it would not have been ergonomic for C/C++ folks and probably not as successful as it is.
