Three things:
1. Knowledge. Most companies do not even know that Ada exists
(really!). Somebody has to tell them, but if nobody internally has
this knowledge and people do not look for knowledge on their own, then
who is going to tell them?
2. Availability of resource. This is not about people on the job
market that are waiting to be employed, but about people that are
already working for the company - are they willing to learn Ada? (but
before that, see 1. above)
3. Availability of reasonably robust and up to date compilers.
Unfortunately things are very bad for Ada in this regard - compilers
are either bug-ridden or outdated.
The 1. and 2. above are internal and can be solved by the company. The
3. above is external and in my opinion is the most important problem
to be solved.
