Where's Ada used
- rurban 4y agoMilitary, airplanes, rockets. Only serious stuff
- Jtsummers 4y agoThe US military uses it less than they should, the mandate didn't last long, no clue about other nations. Aviation should also use it more than they do, but most new systems get a choice between: C, C++, Ada, and maybe Fortran. It's usually up to the subsystem developer to determine which language(s) they will use rather than mandated from above. In particular because most planes (this has been true for a long time but become increasingly true over the last 30 years) have highly modular designs with respect to these kind of components. An ICD (interface control document) will lay out the physical and digital interface requirements, but the internals are mostly left to the developer. This includes the language choice.
