This paper begins with a brief history of the Ada programming language including the rise of Ada, the Ada Mandate and the fall from grace as a DoD programming language. The paper examines the reasons why the Ada is not widely accepted in certain areas and provides reasons why it should be used in particular areas. The paper then gives examples of where Ada has persisted and found a niche in safety critical, high integrity. The paper also discusses Ada-related organizations and gives examples of projects currently underway in the US and in Europe providing a compelling reason for using Ada in appropriate and critical domain areas.
