But so does, say, ATS and does a better job on the aforementioned merits. But, indeed, it is not in fashion.

To be fair, they are also afraid of Rust.
- kevlar700 2y agoI'm not afraid of functional programming. I just dislike it. I avoid recursion in Ada personally (others like it). I think OOP is over rated and the clarity of imperative is under rated. Though I do like how Ada provides object oriented design to imperative programs even without touching Adas OOP features (tagged types).
