> All the runtime checks eat up cpu resources which made it slower than the competition. You can turn off all the runtime checks. When you do, Ada is competitive with Rust and even C. But user jonathanstrange's criticisms above of Ada and Adacore hit the nail on the head, in my opinion. Ada's a great language but unless Adacore revisits the licensing, it's doomed. Now, even the defense industry has for the most part abandoned Ada, despite it being perfectly suited for the industry.
