A nitpick, but why is Ada in all caps in the title? It isn't in the article, nor is the name an acronym.
There's no real reason for it to annoy me so much, but I was just thinking about how I can't stand when people seemingly randomly capitalize words relating to technology without the intention of drawing emphasis to them: GIT, NODE, JIRA, JAVA... why??
Thought this was talking about blockchain tech, Cardano (Token $ADA) which I'm having a hard time giving a chance. Was hoping something could change my mind
Why are you having a hard time giving it a chance? Maybe wait until it (Gougen) launches and make up your mind then?

They still don't have a smart contract platform launched on the mainnet afaik. The only reason to use it in my mind is as an alternative to Ethereum, NEO, EOS, etc in the smart contract space. Every year that goes by where it does not have it's core competitive feature in a production-ready state is a nail in the coffin from my perspective.
Yes, and that's why I am suggesting to wait ~a month until it is deployed as per the road map before taking a hard stance.

I tend to like Ada, but it is a tiring language to read with the all caps. Also, it 'feels' like it has a gatekeeper group and really doesn't come up in any mobile conversation. I still believe someone will do something akin to a syntax substitution and come up with a well liked language. Also, modern Fortran is not that bad of a language much like the modern parts of C++.
I guess there is more to like then, since the keywords are case insensitive. The OP doesn’t even use all caps.

OK, this has no relation to the actual content of the article, but I have to point out that that is not what the phrase "the writing is on the wall" means.
