So Ada had it wrong all the time it seems. From

https://python.land/python-tutorial

------------
In a strongly typed language, you need to specify the exact
type of each variable, like String, int, and float. It
gets even uglier when objects are involved.

Now let’s look at Python variables. In Python, we can do
exactly the same without types:

my_name = "Erik"
my_age = 37
my_salary = 1250.70

As you can see, the Python variant is a lot cleaner and easier on the eyes!
----------------------

And about possible error, they defend this by saying:

--------------------------
In addition, you’ll find out soon enough during testing
and fix the error before the software ever goes to production.
---------------------------

So, I think all what Ada needs is to simply remove all those
ugly types from the language and it will become popular
like Python is now :)
