Hi everyone,
I have been looking into Ada as a new language to pick up. I tend to use C 
for most projects, but I enjoy learning new things. I'm already sold on the 
value of the language itself from a technical point of view, but my concern 
is that it might have a rather small userbase, especially without the Ada 
Mandate. I am having trouble finding recent FAQs or usage information. It's 
easy to come across something from like 1994, but that's over ten years ago 
;)
I'm going to learn it anyway, but I'm just hoping that people could comment 
on its popularity, and also how it has kept up against the other languages 
which surely must have incorporated a lot of its advantages by now. Thanks
