Why was Team Ada created?
Success of a language can never depend on mandates. Successful languages have almost always grown from a grass-roots movement of some form, the most prominent example being C. Many of us know, from years of use, that Ada is a good, reliable language that has often been unfairly maligned. The goal of Team Ada is to form a loose coalition of Ada enthusuasts who wish to promote Ada at the grass-roots level. It is _very_ important to understand that it is not the purpose of the group to attack other languages. Quite the contrary, Team Ada members should maintain the sensitivity that this is a multi-lingual world, and thus should avoid situations that call for the denigration of other languages (such attacks are rarely fruitful anyway). While comparing the benefits of Ada by nature requires demonstrating the difficulty of similar solutions in other languages, it is important that Team members acknowledge and respect the multilingual diversity of the software development world.
