Many of us studied it at university in the dim distant past.
( They now teach kids Haskell and Java )
Ada has gone the way of Jovial.

Not too many vendors left.
ACT is the only one I can think of and they have a free unsupported
version and a supported version that they want six figures per seat
for. I guess that the DOD and a few companies stuck with legacy Ada
based DOD source code maintenance contracts are their only customers.

Actually, many of these systems now use C or C++ because of:
1. Management reluctance to approve the use of a dying language.
( Heck, how many new projects are done in COBOL ? )
2. Difficulty finding and hiring Ada programmers.
