The over-arching goal of Ada202X should be to figure out how to attract more developers, both grand visions and low-hanging fruit. For example, would a first-order-logic library attract Prolog programmers?

You want Ada to be more popular? Easy. All you have to do is:
- Use LLVM
- Use a BSD license for all the libs and runtime
- Write an entire nix-ish OS in it
- Get rid of the overhead in code writing (think Oberon)
This requires organization and budget. Who is gonna pay?
