Yup i did some Ada work in a lockheed internship in college. Was for various things on a plane being sold to another country. Not classified but plenty of things around me were (of course nobody gave me any classified information but everybody walked around with their clearance level on their employee badge and the broad strokes of what other programs were isn’t classified, for example lots of F-35 work was being done in the building)

Isn't the F-35 also famous for the fact that they used C++ (instead of Ada) for the software?

Based on what I understand of the rating methodology, though, I'm still very surprised that Ada beats TypeScript. My understanding is that it's basically a measure of search results, and I would expect TypeScript to have vastly more of those than Ada, given that most Ada applications aren't going to be publicly discussed.

I suspect that it has to do with names—Ada is highly overloaded in ways that are adjacent to programming (ADA, Ada Lovelace) and is a short enough word that Google may ignore it. A naive search for `ada programming` turns up 896 million results, compared to 28 million for `typescript programming`

Exactly, Ada is searched for 2x as much as TS? No way.
