If you program, you should read this piece.@bsdphk I'm far too young to have experienced it myself in person, but to my understanding all these cool features introduced a complexity which was hard to manage in the 80s. Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank on my source, sorry about that, it's a couple of years since I've learned a bit of Ada (because these features *are* cool and ought to be available *today*).
Also capitalism happens, I guess the availability of a DoD language was less than stellar, and if it was available, it was probably really expensive? This is a side-effect of all these certification-heavy domains I know, stuff is *really* expensive.
Also, the wider industry tends to value development speed over anything, lest the adoption of all those dynamic languages. Just another way of externalizing costs to the public.
