No more than you're saying it's not dead "because I said so".

Yeah. "Not just quite as slick". What does it even mean? Ada/SPARK has everything you would find in a modern language... and more. People hold lots of misconceptions over the language, that is why I often bring it up and talk about it. That is why I often provide links to stuff people would easily find if they were to look stuff up about the language. As I said in my other comment, it even has a package manager: https://alire.ada.dev/.

Now, I know that there is a trendy view of "the more the better", and it does not have as many libraries there, but that has to do with the fact that it is not yet widespread among Ada users. Alire is really new.
