The compilers were expensive.
This is probably because Ada was mandated for government projects. The people buying compilers were most likely able to charge that expense to the government, possibly even with a mark-up.
The language had a weird temporary resurgence a few years back. It seems to have started by the free Ada compilers becoming decent and by people starting to get serious about security holes. It seems to have ended due to rust claiming that niche.
- pjmlp 8y agoIf you are talking about HN bubble effect yes. In production code powering high integrity systems, certified compilers and industry safety norms, Rust still has a lot to catchup over Ada.
