I worked with Ada for several years on a military satellite program (simulator software for various satellite subsystems). Specifically, I was using Ada95 on SPARC/Solaris, and later got to work on a project (with a different employer) to port much of the same system to x86/Linux with Ada2005 (so many endian issues :shudder:). This was in the mid-late 2000s. I remember when I told my mother (also a software engineer) that I got a job using Ada, she laughed and handed me all of her old Ada83 books (which are still on my bookshelf at work). I'm doing backend services in JVM-land these days, which I enjoy a bit more (not to mention I'm building a more portable skill-set) :)
