What is a language without the tool to understand it.  The tool becomes an obstacle if it restricts you on what you want to achieve.  In my case, GNAT and GNATPRO could be the reason I'll stay with Ada from the "tool" perspective besides the language benefits.  However, I do join David on some of his points with regards to the language backwards compatibility becoming a hurdle (and not only for Ada, but also for C++).  I've also learned the painful way with the help of this group that Ada has failed at some places to be readable, such as a standalone tick mark (') and a few other particular idiosyncrasies.  I must say this is one of my deepest disappointments. And this is why I've been reading this thread with great attention.

I'll continue my prototype in Ada and re-evaluate my options before the code base has become to large to move.  I could return to the 'C' family languages if this will be the best option.
