There hangs all the time a cloak of secrecy over the Ada projects (if there are any), maybe it is due to the military background of Ada. All the postings concerning this issue are so laconic, that no one can get conception how large is the project, what is the expected result (product) and is it going to be obtained, what kind of mixture of programming languages are used and so on. A few will stand forth and say I (we) did it in Ada, nobody says we tried to do in Ada but failed (I think there are some). In my own case (I do not speak for my company) I would say it is too risky to stay away from the mainstream. First I should have a strong evidence done by me or associates, until I could convince my superiors, but I can't do that evidence without a fairly complete set of Ada tools and support (expensive) or without spending my working hours, for which I don't have acceptance of my superiors...
