Seem to remember ADA was a common buzzword 15 years ago, not heard much
about it lately. Does anyone still use it or is it another of those 80's
type defuncto type language like Pascal and Modulo2?

I do, wich isn't paticulary interesting. It is mostly used inside
aviation and the space-industri, and other places whit high
reliabillty demands.

You can read more here:

BTW it is Ada not ADA it is named after Augusta Ada King, Countess of
Lovelace, who are considered to be the first programmer in history.

I've never percieved Ada as a buzzword.

Does anyone still use it or is it another of those 80's type
defuncto type language like Pascal and Modulo2?

I use it. I have done it since Ada was added to GCC in 1994-95. And
I know of one software engineering school where it is tought and one
more where the professors keeps it for themselves here in Denmark.

Greetings,

Jacob
