I used Ada (first Ada95, later Ada2005) while working on the GPS program, before leaving aerospace and taking on work using Java.

I found the Java type system to be horrendous in comparison. Much better employment potential, though...

That is one reason why I never liked C and C++ was a better option when coming from Turbo Pascal 6.

Although Turbo Pascal isn't Ada, it did allow for a similar approach with stronger types, which C++ also kind of supports (but C compatibility spoils it).
