That one kinda surprised me as well because Ada was designed to be
safe but also designed to support low level hardware access if needed.
I mean, the language was originally targetted for embedded weapons

BTW - The onboard systems on the Boeing 777 are written in Ada. As
are most of the train systems in Europe.
