As stated by Ludovic, there is an hope on the free software field.
Although Hipe and Money is dooing very well also on this field, there is a
(tiny) possibility to be on hype without big investments.
And I expect such hype to have a direct effect outside of the free software
world, starting on academic and then industriel world.
So, there is still a way to spread Ada, and good software habits by the way.
After all, this is not less realistic than having a student shaking
Microsoft and Unix world with an home made OS :-)
