- I don't think so. Ada was a main part of it, but not for the
- microcode. The Ada compiler, circa 1980-81 were developed by a
- Hillsboro, Oregon team, and was one of the earliest Ada compilers.

- (Programmers from Siemens came in around 1984-5 for the Gemini effort
- and did much of the Ada development.)
