Mostly for programming. ;-)

I seem to be more efficient at programming in Ada mainly because the
language

 - allows me better to express the problem I want to solve
 - catches mistakes earlier in the development process

But Ada is not always my first choice for solving a problem.  When I
solve system administration tasks, I often use Bash.
