It's interesting to see the positive talk about Ada in here. I think that's good, but also indicative of perhaps a change in perspective. I feel like if the topic of Ada had come up here 10 years ago (probably did), the responses would have been quite different and more along the lines of "that annoying stuffy/overly-verbose/old/obsolete/design-by-committee language" .

I think there's a good growing consciousness of the fairly terrifying unsafety of C/C++, and the relative success of Rust is some evidence of that, at least.

Many moons ago I bought an Ada 95 manual, and learned a bit of the language with intent to fiddle with it but never finished. I like the idea but not sure I'd be wanting to give up various... modern conveniences... I get from Rust in order to work in that world.
