I worked on two geosynchronous communication satellites built on Ada (late 1980s using the TLD compiler). Both had a maximum of 48KB of ROM and 16KB of RAM. That included attitude control, command, telemetry, thermal/power management, fault manager, and little OS.
Since then, I've done pretty much nothing but C, but I do miss Ada's features from time to time.
