Server-side stuff is a big focus of the upcoming year, so maybe then? :)

(I've been doing more of it lately and found it surprisingly pleasant)

The issue there isn't the language, Ada is lovely but that the surrounding infrastructure isn't there, it lacks widely used 'modern' libraries for a lot of stuff you take for granted in .Net/Java (even PHP) Land.

I'd love to be able to use it at some point and writing a web framework on top of it has been one of those fun if I ever have lots of spare time projects that sits in my queue.

Yeah there's a ton of web frameworks so far, but with the new tokio stuff landing soon, I expect a lot of change!
