Only in so far as one is talking about government related work - and that isn't necessarily all done in Ada anyway. It certainly is one of the places with a higher density of Ada projects, but it is also not the only one. Ada is used in commercial applications, but you kind of have to look around for it. People don't generally advertise that they do their software in a specific language. Except, of course, when trying to hire programmers with appropriate experience. > Others have to invent Ada job on they own, it is harder, but possible.

I'm going this way for about 3 years. Good for you. That's exactly how Ada is going to find a commercial base. If people develop things in Ada when the company doesn't care what they use, or if it sneaks in the back door or if it is done as a speculative venture, you'll see more growth in Ada jobs. Make useful software in Ada and it will create its own market.
