Is Ada still around?

It never went anywhere, still used for what it was used...

A lot of flight and safety critical software has gone c++ at least in the US. Do178b approved g++ clones started popping up about 25 years ago and have made dramatic inroads.

What? I just left a job in defense software that used Ada and it was a fairly new program.

So we agree.

It never went anywhere => ie. it never left.

Still used for what it was used => ie. the same kind of software (defense, etc).

>g++ clones

What does this mean? Something like certified forks of g++?
