Ada seems to have made a good impression at FOSDEM 2012 last weekend.
See among others a brief blog-report on the talk about programming
a Lego Segway-like robot : <http://legopunk.com/?q=node/104>.
Also, see some of the reactions on Twitter:

Was the best FOSDEM moment the Lego Segway programmed in Ada?
One of my FOSDEM takeaway; it's possible to program Arduino using Ada!
Haven't written any Ada for years - interesting to see the latest
developments
Will really need to try ada out... seems like a cool old school
language...
Programming Lego Mindstorm in Ada. This is gonna be cool.
Lego Mindstorms and Ada - curious!
at #fosdem, holding an #arduino-like board with an accelerometer running
#ada and streaming real-time data to the beamer :)
At fosdem, being introduced to #ada. Seems lovely ;)
In a huge lecture hall listening to talk on #ada about free and open
source software @fosdem by @AdaCore
-------
All in all, it was nice to see quite some interest from a very diverse
public. And although this year's DevRoom had 37% more seats compared
to our previous one (81 vs. 59), plus more competition from the +-20
parallel tracks, several of our presentations drew a full room.
Ada is getting "cool"... ;-)
