Yes, except that mixed language development can be really painful. This is
especially true for embedded projects where you can have really important
issues with compilers & tools.

There are certainly a large number of things that can readily be done
entirely in Ada. Its also relatively easy to connect Ada to other languages
where you might have large existing libraries you want to leverage. You
might be able to identify equivalent libraries in Ada if it is something
general enough. Deciding to mix languages has its problems, but might be
worth doing depending on what you want to achieve.
