Ouch! What really hurts the most is that I use Ocaml at my (non-academic) 
job and I only fiddle around academically with Ada...

I think if you look at the field I work in, roughly "VLSI CAD", Ada is 
nowhere to be found in "major production use", but I know of a few places 
(admittedly researchy or "in house" SW) that use Ocaml. Counterexamples 
welcome....
