ark@alice.uucp states:

Ada is the Cobol of the 70's

Does this mean...

(1) Ada will be the new "language to ridicule" for the next x years?
(2) Ada will end up being the language of choice for many applications,
    resulting in skillions of lines of code being written?
(3) My paycheck will be generated out of a missile system?
(4) It still won't outlast Fortran?
(5) All of the above?
