The performance is pretty close, actually (far more than Go, for example) : http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=nbody&lang=all http:/

  http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=gnat&lang2=gcc http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?te... might be a better link to show how Ada performance compares to C: ranging from twice as fast to three times as slow, with a median in favor of C. It's true that it's pretty close. I don't know if those numbers are representative of how performance works out in the real world; any insights from your experience? Golang, it's true, is in the 3×–10× ballpark. https://github.com/languages/Ada https://github.com/languages/Ada shows Ada as the #52 most popular language on GitHub. The #10 most popular is Objective-C at 3%. Using R: summary(lm(log(c(25, 13, 8,8,8, 7, 6, 4, 4, 3)) ~ log(1:10))) I derive that the Nth most popular language on Github is used in 24% * N -0.81 of projects, with an R² of 0.93. This suggests that Ada should be in use on about 0.98% of projects on Github, which makes me wonder why https://github.com/languages/Ada/updated?page=10 https://github.com/languages/Ada/updated?page=10 can only find 200 Ada projects that have been updated in the last nine months. (JS, the #1 language, has 200 projects updated in the last 22 minutes.)

    That should be 24% × N ^ -0.81. The double asterisk I was using for exponentiation got eaten.
