I have used Ada for scientific computation for 25 years. It got off to
a bad start because of the high cost of entry. Compilers were £1000+
for one licence (remember dongles).
However, the recent Ada standards (2005) are very attractive. It is
possible to interface software from other languages (MPI, Metis,
UMFPACK) and the tool from gnat g++ -c -fdump-ada-spec ... is quite
exciting. The containers are also useful. I have used an instaniation
of Ada.Containers.Ordered_Maps to contain sparse matrices.
Some of the applications are finite element software for Maxwell's
equations.
