I've gone from not having anything Ada related on my computer to installing the toolchain, initiating a project , writing, compiling, and running "Hello World" in less then 2 minutes.
Ada has had something of a resurgence in the last couple years, with the latest standard (2022) officially released and for the first time in a few years, Ada has its own dev room at FOSDEM! https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2024-10-28-devrooms-announced/ https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2024-10-28-devrooms-announced/
