Interesting choice, but Ada is probably even less popular than Zig.

Even just requiring users to integrate my hypophetical Ada library source distribution into their project's build system files would most likely drown me in support tickets ;)

It certainly has more production deployments than Zig might ever get.

We are in Ada 2012 nowadays, with Ada 202x getting finalized.

my point is either of these versions are very complete and usable implementations. more recent is even better.
