Ada is dead for new development by fiat of the DoD. They finally figured out that having all their real-time code written in a language almost nobody outside of DoD uses is a bad idea. Fortran doesn't fly; that is, (almost)[1] no real-time code is written in Fortran. It is still used for simulations, but is steadily being replaced my Matlab since the latter integrates better with various engineering workflows. C is definitely still the winner for the embedded code, but is losing to C++ as time goes on. Java is also making inroads for implementing the interfaces on operator consoles. [1] I know of at least one program that deployed signal processing algorithms in a semi-operational state in Fortran.
