I suspect a lot of embedded projects start off small, (8/16-bit) and eventually graduate to the 32-bitters where switching to Ada would involve abandoning proven legacy C code. Ada seems to be mostly for markets which have always though big (like aerospace) as opposed to the industries started small (like automotive.) One of these days, I'm going to buy my son the Lego Mindstorms kit and get that Ada compiler working.
