I use Ada as my alternative to C, when I don't feel like doing C++. I've written a few tools for myself, including a command line code discover tool for large code bases (tens of millions of lines). There's a bunch of embedded work being done with it. Make sure you use "Ada" rather than "ADA". Some people might give you trouble about it--it's not an acronym, just a name :)
