For a popular perception of what kind of people program in Ada, turn 
to chapter 1.4.3 ("Programming languages and utilities") of "Linux 
Installation and Getting Started", version 2.1.1, by Matt Welsh. 
The second paragraph says:

"   Besides C and C++, many other compiled and interpreted programming
  languages have been ported to Linux, such as Smalltalk, FORTRAN, Pascal,
  LISP, Scheme, and Ada (if you're masochistic enough to program in Ada --
  we're not going to stop you.)  "
