Ada is the language of choice for very large systems and for
safety-critical systems. Boeing and Airbus chose Ada for their avionics
SW development, most nuclear reactor systems are in Ada, and just about
every country in the world except the USA has an air traffic control
system written in Ada. The language is not going to disappear anytime
soon.

As for finding Ada people, it seems to be a fact of the community that
employers have trouble finding good people, and people have trouble
finding good jobs. This does not mean there are not good people looking
for work or good jobs looking for people.
