Just so happens that the 8051 is one of the most popular project processor
too (silicon vendors call them "design wins"). From the figures I've managed
to get, the most popular design-win processor is the PIC from Microchip.

Oh, and before anyone shouts "there's no reason why we can't get a good
Ada 95 compiler for the PIC that's as least as good as C blah blah blah"
actually take a look at the processor.
