I did some Ada in college. It's incredibly powerful, but it can be pretty difficult to work with. I don't know where else is used other than aviation and the military.

+1 for Ada. Loved they way it made tasks and monitors etc explicit. Easy to work with low level hardware. Liked the subtyping too. Often compilation => correct.
Ada was the intro programming language at my college and I have a soft spot for it.
