For those interested in promoting Ada and finding new markets in which Ada
can be a player, here's an emerging opportunity:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9331678324.html

Since all if this is a brand new horizon (Cable TV applications) there is no
built-in body of investment in other development technologies. Hence the
only thing to overcome is any anti-Ada bias that may exist in the minds of
techies. Considering the impact of any software errors on interruption of
service, etc., Ada could have some really strong selling points in terms of
reliability. Since it is all Linux and GNU, etc, it should not be a big
shift for Ada to be a player - it just needs some attention paid to it by
compiler vendors, app developers, etc.
