I'm just starting out learning Ada, but it seems Ada is dying. From what I 
can see very few people use Ada, out of about 15 000 projects on 
Sourceforge only 32 are written in Ada! I think that's sad, and now that 
Ada's parents (the  U.S DoD) are dropping Ada 95 what does the future hold 
in store? Is it worthwhile learning a language nobody appreciates or uses?
