To paraphrase Mark Twain "The news of Ada's death has been
greatly exaggerated."
Ada does have an active standard. The most recent standard is dated
1995. Ada also has something C++ still struggles for: compilers
that implement the entire standard.
Ada's useage is reportedly growing slightly, which does not support
the concept of a 'dead' language.
I find Ada to be a fun language to work in.
