I have been following Ada at FOSDEM for the last years, and its
use seems to be increasing in Europe for safety critical
systems, mainly thanks to C and C++ issues.
Maybe this is an area where D could be pushed as well.
I don't think so: given that D is "C++ done right", it would
require many (unlikely to happen) changes to become an
interesting alternative for Ada: for example changing the
semantic of integers!
That said, one question I should ask to Rust devs is why they
didn't base Rust on Ada given their goals..
