Is Ada being used in the industry? Looks actually quite fun to play with from changelog additions. I didn’t realise it’s still under active development.
Ada is assumed to be dead by most US-centric programmers, but is alive and used outside the US. Seems most of the action these days in Ada-land is in Europe.
It was created by the US government, or at least by committee for the US government, specifically the DOD. There was a DOD mandate to use Ada, that lasted about 5 minutes before the rebellion against it won out. There's not a lot of new (this century) software written at the DOD's request in Ada.
