Here's one question not on the list: what's the Ada job market look like? As a web dev looking to deep dive on some non-web topic with the pragmatic constraint that it must be a hireable one, Ada seems promising but I wouldn't know where to start looking for jobs.

Not good. It was supposed to be THE language for military work in the US (Ex: F-22 Raptor was mostly Ada), but they had trouble hiring people and got rid of the "use Ada" requirement, or so I've been told. Newer planes like the F-35 JSF have used much smaller amounts of Ada (mostly C & C++ iirc...there is a breakdown somewhere to compare languages used in both planes). It is also used in some critical infrastructure projects like trains and stuff. In short, C & C++ took over. SpaceX surprisingly used a LOT of LabVIEW in their mission control.
