I'm new to Ada, but not to programming in general. Decided to learn a new
language, and Ada was of interest to me. Am enjoying the language so far -
using GNAT GPL nad Coronado's old tutorial.

Just curious to know if Ada is still widely used, and in what area(s) does
it excel, e.g. data processing, number crunching, graphics, etc? TIA..
