Thanks for the effort:

I think this one looks more realistic. Now every reputable CS
department has to come up with their own language. That is why there
are so many simplistic, totally useless hello-world type of languages
that poor students are forced to use.

I wonder if someone analyzed what is used for mission-critical/life-
safety/embedded apps?  That would be closer to what for Ada was
designed for.  It will probably come down to C/C++ and Ada.  Now there
are talks about RT extensions in Java and C# also.
