That's incorrect. Commercial avionics are written in C++ these days. Automotive systems are in C or C++. Ada never got any real use outside the US military, and even there it's dead.
- samuell 10y agoNot if you read something like this: https://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/ada-project-summary.html https://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/ada-project-summary.html Sure, the "military" list is the longest, but far from the only one. I also notice four Swedish military systems there (yay :) )
- user5994461 10y agoAda ain't dead. It's still in use for some aircraft systems, not all of which are military.
- Grishnakh 10y agoIt's probably all legacy stuff. The avionics stuff I worked on was all C++. I got to see some Ada code, but it was all ancient legacy systems that hadn't been replaced yet. I seriously doubt anyone is starting any new projects in it.
