Assuming your discomfort is around the defense side of things here's an example of a diving reberather system using Spark/Ada from a while back.

It's used for planes, trains, and automobiles. No reason to feel uncomfortable working on those things.
I wonder what Ada Lovelace would think about her namesake being the language for weapon systems.
She was an aristocrat in the greatest empire the world had ever seen. She is unlikely to have objected to weapons systems per se.
I’d rather fly in an airplane with a system coded in Ada/Spark rather than Python ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you have problem with Snakes in a plane ?
What are we comparing Ada to… PHP?
