One group that should be willing to pay for it are those writing high-reliability and safety-critical code, e.g. DoD. It appears they have less of a preference for Ada nowadays, instead using a "safer" subset of C++ and static analysis tools.
- pjmlp 13y agoThe problem is that in the early days Ada compilers were more expensive than C and C++ static analysis tools. :( Nowadays we have cheaper options, but the harm is done. However, from what I can infer from last years of FOSDEM, at least in Europe, Ada use seems to be slowly rising.
