I usually hear 2 kind of reaction about Ada from 99.9% of people involved in
software development.
1/ Ada ? what is it ? How, that's a language. Never heard about it ...
2/ Ada ? I heard about it a few years ago, this language looked really great
! Does it still exist ?

Current use of Ada language in software develoment is everything but 'ifs'
I don't know if the way Ada is promoted is a good one. But I know the
current situation.
What percentage of Free Software is develop in Ada ?

Very few people use Ada. They are usually convincing one another among
already convinced people.
The rest of the world is usually considered as stupid enough not to use Ada
I don't think it's a very efficient promotion.

I imagine a car vendor telling you :
Here is your car !
Of course there are no seats ... stupid you are ... There are plenty of seat
vendors. Find and chose it yourself.
Lights ? Are you sure you really need to use it at night ... ? That's not
safe ... Anyway I guess some people must provide lights somewhere ...
