Ada had OO from Ada 95, though it doesn't look anything like the OO in most mainstream languages of today. In Ada 95, tagged types were introduced which were based on Ada's powerful record types and Ada 2005 introduced interfaces

During a presentation, I tried to show a ranged type implementation in Java. To put it mildly: it's a mess.

There is at least one error in your "About Ada" section. The language was not designed by the Department of Defense, though it did meet specifications laid out by DoD called the Steelman. The language was designed by Jean Ichbiah

These articles give the worst impression of Ada possible. It's not the it's a specialized language for the military, but a language created to cleanup the DoD's software nightmare of the 70s, which is not unlike the software

I am an Ada developer, but I think it is objective to say that anyone who opposes a language because there fingers will have extra work probably doesn't belong in this field. If you consider the development process as a whole—research,

Ada is quite a long way from COBOL. Having just completed its latest revision about a year and a half ago, Ada is very much cutting edge. Ada 2012 is hardly a maintenance revision like you may find for COBOL; it adds tons of new stuff like

I haven't spent any time looking at Go because I'm pretty satisfied with Ada, but these libs do smell a bit like the Ada time handling functions which only get better through each ISO revision. Not handling dates like POSIX is not

To the contrary, labels and breaks are the better design because they are far clearer than testing for termination in each outer loop. Get more than two loops deep and your problem suddenly becomes unmanageable without labels and breaks. Ho

Perhaps map key codes to object properties with, you know, real names so comparisons to e.keyCode mean something in the future. var appKeys = { "Esc": 27 }; else if (e.keyCode === appKeys.Esc) { Some JS libs do this for

The EFF using Gandi is enough of a blessing for me. I've also never heard of Gandi enforcing their ToS in that manor. I did quite a lot of research on Gandi before choosing them. Finding complaints about their behavior is difficult.
