I think Ada's future is in safety-critical systems, where it makes sense to invest heavily in correctness, with the option of using SPARK and formal verification. Additionally, Ada has several mature compilers suitable for life-and-death applications.

For more ordinary software though, doesn't Rust make more sense? Its approach to memory management for instance, with a borrower-checker, seems much nicer than what Ada has to offer.

Disclaimer: I know neither language very well.
