Somebody else already pointed out the difficulty of finding qualified
people. Most companies already pay for toolchains so you need a "good"
argument like how much money will you save today, tomorrow is too far away
in todays economic climate. Why should we pay big money for Ada when we can
already get Java for basically nothing and C++ for cheap and we can find
Java and C++ coders for a pittance and they're worth every penny ;) but Ada
people are expensive.
Like most things in business its about money and not quality. Ada is going
to remain a niche language because only where quality is important (planes
not crashing) or other projects where they get to use other peoples money
(government contracts) nobody can really afford Ada no matter how good it
is. And the Ada toolchains are not cheap.
