On: Who's Using Ada? Real-World Projects Powered by the Ada Programming Language

ADA at university - never touched it again. It was ADA 83, and the ADA 95 object extensions looked horrible.

I remember seeing PL/SQL circa Oracle 8i and it looking a lot like ADA.

Not a coincidence. The designers of PL/SQL were largely inspired by Ada's basic syntax and structure.

It's not an acronym, by the way, so no need to all-caps it.

The object extensions aren't bad; they just suffer from a combination of an unusual object model and an even more unusual use of terminology.
