I've tried it.  (Assuming you call >28KSLOC/yr trying.)  I don't like it.
I prefer to use the right tool for the job.  If that's Ada, then I'll
use that.  However, many people only know one language and assume that
that language is best for everything.

I consider it telling that it is endorsed (by mandate) by an organization
which can't balance it's collective checkbook (and many individual ones).
