Ada sitting at #22

I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.

I wonder, if this is another effect of LLMs. Maybe it's just really easy and lucrative to generate+sell books for these old languages.
