Yeah, "production ready" was the wrong phrase. It's more a combination of availability of language compiler, tooling, training, and interest from developers.
If you start a new project using Rust there is a reasonable chance you'll be able to find libraries for common tasks and developers willing to work on it. You can make a case for it and not lose your job. With Ada, outside of a few niches that isn't going to be the case IMO.
It's been a long time since I looked at Ada, but I believe it's memory mgmt is more inline with modern C++ than Rust. So perhaps it's not truly comparable.
