The IDE idea is rather separate from an Ada successor language, at the mome=
nt. Given things like the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities it's becomin=
g obvious that HW is reaching the point where it needs provable verificatio=
n just like SW does -- at least for SW we have SPARK -- a fully integrated =
Ada and VHDL IDE  would allow some form of crossover, allowing the SPARK pr=
overs to be used on HW descriptions and prove properties there, just like w=
e do in SW.

This gets even more exciting when you have HW and SW together: you can veri=
fy the whole system! Imagine, for a moment, the possibilities of a chip, it=
s OS, and its compiler all formally verified.
