What do you mean? Ada is used routinely in some industries.
- jeffdavis 6y agoBy "possibilities", I mean the possibility as an alternative to (or major safety improvement on) C++, which is what the article is talking about: "Microsoft has deemed C++ no longer acceptable...needs to move...best choice on the market today is Rust". Ada is a possibility, but it's just not there and does not show signs of being there soon. There's probably not a net movement from C++ to Ada today, and there is no reason to expect differently over the next 5 years. Rust is not a sure bet either. Lack of major real systems is a big question mark. But basically the article's thesis makes sense to me.
