It seems to me that it simply takes a lot more code (not just
keystrokes) to do anything in Ada, compared to other languages.  Having
two files (ADS and ADB) for every module is already a nuisance.

I think there is also a very big gap between beginner-level Ada and
production-level Ada, and it's not very obvious how to bridge the gap.
C++ has tons of online docs and you can learn what you need to
gradually.  Plus it is easier to navigate C++'s library ecosystem.
Alire(sp?) may help with that for Ada.  I haven't used it yet.
