The AdaIC took a survey of Ada usage in 2005. Since the data was
self-reported, its hard to know how accurate the results are. There is a
presentation with a summary of the resulrs at
http://www.adaic.com/site/Survey-05-present.pdf and a article with results
at http://www.adaic.org/news/survey-results.html.
