Well that's chicken and eggs problem. Somebody has to start... In fact
with all the responses you get using Ada will just be another new
project using Ada :)

Frankly I 100% agree with Stephen. Ada gives a big advantage against the
concurrence, why not use it just for that. An better question to me
whould be : who is providing compilers, tools and support for Ada? Looks
like the Ada market is fine to me.
