Yes. Very much so. Mostly in a pretty limited application domain...
but then that's
the domain it targeted in the first place. ADA remains not only
seriously used,
but one of the main players in embedded real-time systems (like flight
computers). It isn't the only player in that market by any means, but
it is
certainly seriously used and shows no signs of eminent death. I have
an easier
time finding ADA support than Fortran support in some of those
environments.
