My single opinion is just that, my opinion. I work with Ada daily and
I find it has many advantages, but it also has many drawbacks. Without
going into the long and dirty about what I like and what I dislike, I
have to cast my vote in favor of C++ (provided the compiler supports
templates). The lack of a "Microsoft Ada" or "Turbo Ada" is probably the
greatest obstacle I see to Ada making it outside the non Mandated world.
Show me a $300 Ada compiler/development environment that compiles tight,
fast code, supports OO (9x, not Ada 83), and I'll be forced to
reconsider my opinion. As for my job, I do enjoy working with Ada.
