weakness
- Lack of popularity 

I know popularity shouldn't be a point, but the lack of popularity drives to lack of tools, libraries...
That's a weakness unless it is a niche and very specialized language. And as far as I know Ada is supposed to be general purpose language. 

I don't know how it works with non-PC. But, unless you go for GPL, commercial Ada is really expensive.

If you think  not in the compiler alone, but in a framework, a framework to work properly with Ada compared to frameworks that use other language, Ada is expensive, really expensive and, leaving aside the compiler, much poorer.
GPS is a good IDE but not near Delphi or Visual studio, but prices are.. well.. for deep pockets.
