What’s your sense of the size of the Ada job market? High hundreds? Close to 10,000? Is it static or growing or shrinking? Is there a preferred online community for Ada devs?

The Ada job market is still large in aerospace and defense industries where lives are on the line.
When you say large, what do you guess in actual numbers? Just a rough impression; I'm not going to hold you to anything.
Probably a thousand max in France? extrapolating from the ones I know, if you're talking defense/aeronautics (but I don't know or see everyone). Someone from AdaCore would give a better approximate.

We (embedded company) don't hire specifically with Ada experience (it's welcome but not mandatory) we just train people and then focus on shipping stuff.
