I think Ada could offer something there:

1. Direct portability without virtualization;
2. Control over the resources. In Ada the server can be designed in a way
that it would require minimal or no dynamic memory allocation;
3. Much better performance when Ada's approach to tasking is used;
4. Less debugging.

Negative could be:

1. Culture shock programmers experience when have to face Ada;
2. Lack of tools;
3. Tiny community;
4. GNAT monopoly.
