This predates that. It's written in Ada.

Does it count if, combining the two, one could infer a musical scale[0] such as:

  Ada (ay-dah), Scala (ska-lah)
Bonus points for Latin aficionados:

  The word "scale" originates from the Latin scala,
  which literally means "ladder".

Yes, but the programming languages is much more well known.

Regardless, cool! This is the first project I'm aware of to have been written in Ada

Love Scala! One of my favorite high school memories is putting Scala files into a DAW and hooking it up to an electric piano, so that my piano teacher and I could play around with different tunings.

Took me a few minutes to go from "what is going on?" to "oh this is not the Scala".
