I was in the contest to design the DoD-I language thru Steelman reqs that resulted in Ada. We (Red) came in 2nd and got the contract to fix all the mistakes Jean Ichbiah made in the design of Green, that got him the French Legion of Honor for designing the American defense language Ada. Later, I started the newsletter Ada LETTERS and the group AdaTEC under ACM’s SIGPLAN, Special Interest Group on Programming Languages, which I chaired at the time.
