Go for it! This is what I did, and I'm glad I did, even though I have
to care about salaries of 25 people, not only one. There are many
people mourning the condition of Ada on this list, instead of doing
exactly this - starting a company.

Don't start a business with thinking about which language you are
going to choose, this is wrong thinking. Instead do a per-project
language / technology selection. Let me put it in another way: would
it have made sense to write all the software you'd written to date in
Ada? I bet not! In other words: free your mind.
