Of course, and don't expect it to change anytime soon.

There is one thing that I miss in this discussion. You asked for
"advice" on comp.lang.ada. What "answer" do you expect *here*?
It's just about the same useful as asking on comp.lang.perl whether it
makes sense to start a new project in Perl. Go and try.

If your (or your friend's) list of choices is Ada and C++, then for a
reasonably non-biased set of answers you should probably also ask on
comp.lang.c++.moderated and then build your advices on a union of what
you get from both camps.
Otherwise you are just going to make lots of bubbles without any
constructive conclusion.

This is, at least, my very humble opinion.
