I find this somewhat amusing as Ada occupies the same space that Rust is in. At first glance I find Ada vastly more approachable than Rust, which to me feels like line-noise language/Perl. Or even C++ tbh.
But I can relate that Ada feels like you should be writing it one a flickering green terminal in ALL CAPS and debugged with a daisy wheel printer.

In a way, the reason for such a limited character set and clunky syntax (including, e.g. case insensitivity) was precisely to maintain backward compatibility with those earlier machines.
