From the original post: "I know that Ada isn't used much (except for the military - which is something I wouldn't even consider doing anyway)" However I suspect that, although most Ada *work* is for military applications, most Ada *employment* is with software houses that do a mix of civil and military work. Names that come immediately to mind are AeroSystems, Datel, DS&S and I expect there are some more as well. Depending on your view of what constitutes 'military' you should look at the ownership of these companies to decide their acceptability to you. (E.g. Is it acceptable to you to work on a civil application when the company doing the work is subsidiary of a US defence contractor? Is Rolls-Royce a military or a civil company?)
