When you say Ada has a hefty price tag, what do you mean, exactly?
(Are you talking about ide licences, the commercially supported version of the compiler, ramp-up time to productiveness, or maybe something else?)
Somehow I've become interested in the economics of Ada, and am considering it in comparison to several other strongly typed systems programming languages for a learning project. So I'm a bit curious.

There are still 5 surviving Ada vendors, only Ada Core supports a FOSS compiler, for most commercial deployments the compilers lie in typical enterprise seat prices with "talk to our sales team".
