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.
