First I want to say that I totally agree with you.

> Before talking about a solution I would like know the problem.

The problem is that Ada is nowhere to be seen on things such as the Tiobe programming index and therefore communicating Ada-Ada does not make the cut for a lot of projects. There is just no public Ada API out there.

This fact, for sure, puts off a lot of adoption where many new projects probably have 'cloud communication' needs to non Ada services.

> OK, then there is a demand and one could consider some Ada bindings/adapter to that mess. So far nobody voiced it.

I think nobody voiced it because they are actively building business using another language that provides the 'fashionist' way of communicating. 

Its a chicken-egg problem and I am not sure we should sit and wait though.
