    What’s important is not the idea, but the execution. Prove your idea
    works, and maybe more people will pay attention to you.

    An execution is of course important, but Ada works without being popular.

    Ada is the execution of an idea. Imagine if someone came up and said
    “let’s take Pascal as the basis for a high-reliability, real-time programming language”. Who would believe you?
