I'm not even going to reply to most of your mail as it is frankly completely out
of touch with reality.

Everyone knows browser security is terrible and cares about security. It costs
browser makers a lo of money and slows the browser down. I know you haven't been
watching the number of js bugs over the years that are due to memory issues like
I have, they are frequent and often the majority.

Mozilla hardly if at all maintain v8 they just plug it in. Rust isn't even the
language that Hoare invented or wanted. You would think Mozilla would evaluate
all existing languages before inventing a new one that turned out to be inferior.

Ada was built with far more money and expertise than Mozilla could afford and
more time than Google, Mozilla or Microsoft would afford. Look at Go it was
basically hacked together and had a range issue that should never of happened
and somehow took years to fix but I'm sure it was a success in terms of no
longer waiting so long for C++ to compile. A problem that Rust also has but Ada
does not.
