While I agree, the person I initially responded to has, in the past, asserted that they made it and that it is not a joke. They've remained committed to it for a couple years now and have, at times, misled or attempted to mislead people into thinking it was a serious effort. So when I catch them trying to do it again, I call them out.

It seems that they are either ludicrously committed to the joke, or have convinced themselves that it's a serious effort despite all evidence to the contrary.

The joke was on AdaCore's website.

? When was Ada++ ever on AdaCore's site?

I didn't say it was.

Well, I think my confusion was reasonable since the previous comments were all about Ada++ (the joke that 0xDEEPFAC has decided is serious).
