There's some thick bindings to libtls that coincidentally happen to be written by the author of the article. There's also some OpenSSL bindings in Dmitry Kazakov's Simple Components and some in Ada Web Server by AdaCore, although they're pretty minimal. I think most applications of Ada are in embedded systems where you don't often want anything not in the standard library. |

Ada is heavily used and carries a historical influence not only with embedded software space, but also with hardware space: VHDL is one of the two major hardware description languages used in ASIC design and FPGA implementations. (The other language is Verilog, based on - you guessed it - C, because of its popularity.)
"Due to the Department of Defense requiring as much of the syntax as possible to be based on Ada, in order to avoid re-inventing concepts that had already been thoroughly tested in the development of Ada, VHDL borrows heavily from the Ada programming language in both concept and syntax." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHDL#History
