I appreciate what you are saying, but it is again just repeating why Ada is better than Rust. I posit that's irrelevant to this discussion. Rust is a safety centered language that seems to have champions and a growing community around it. Can we not just be happy that finally a safety conscious language has a following? If you are convinced Ada is better, nobody is stopping you from being the champion and building the Ada ecosystem. Right now, Ada is for all intents and purposes invisible both in terms of libraries, mindshare and hype.

Ada is alive where it matters most, high integrity systems.

Plenty of safety conscious language have had followings since ALGOL, this is the point that many miss when praising Rust, while ignoring our computing history.
