In France I did learn Ada at computer science school. Maybe because it is useful for the aerospace and aviation industry ? Or because teachers were used to it and deemed it was great to learn programming in a rigorous manner.

I have to say at least when you're coding in Ada there is no ideological fights over functional programming or silly design patterns from OOP. Refreshing.

The ideological fight that occurred at my job where the project was in Ada was that the most senior programmer didn't want to use git.
...What does Version Control System have to do with choice of programming lang?

Do I even want an answer?

There is, unfortunately, a cohort for which no other version control system is allowed to exist and git is somehow the final answer.
Be that as it may, The relation to Ada is confounding
My point was that even though we didnt have to worry about what things like OOP or FP ideological stuff still crept in.
