I actually remember when Ada was in development - the US Air Force decided to use Jovial in the meantime (F16 in this case). From someone who worked at Lockheed he said there were still Jovial codebases in the past couple of years. Ada was much better than Jovial but had a fairly long design time. I got out of the DoD world by the mid 80's so never came across either again.
