==The [[ADA (computer language)|ADA]] programming language==
Starting in the 1970's, a project was undertaken by the U.S. Department of Defense to find one high-level language to be used for all DoD software, replacing the hundreds of languages then in use. After much evaluation work, the winning language (called "green" in the evaluation process) was named ADA in Ada Lovelace's honor. Its goal of replacing all the previous languages has not been met, partly because interoperability considerations have changed the way software is put together, relative to the way things were done in the 1970's. The ADA language has had less than complete acceptance in the military, and is not widely used in the civilian sector.
