Here's an embedded job, outlining a goal of Ada's utility:

Connect a thermometer in a fridge to an LCD display, with a controller
between them. Do I need tasking? TCP sockets? File systems?

However, an Ada 2012 scalar type for temperature, with physical unit
checking support, perhaps stating static predicates, might be superior,
and useful. Even if one does not consider a fridge generally useful.

Note that MISRA C mandates typedefs for int and the like (MISRA C
being dismissed by demonstrably knowledgeable C nerds does not
change this industry standard). Still far from the expressiveness
of basic Ada types.
