Why not? (That's what I spend most of my time doing.) One of the two projects I'm working on now is already ~1M lines of Ada in the server. The other one is starting up, and will contain a mix of Ada, R and Python to cater to the preferences of the project participants. The R and Python parts will be carefully shielded from the users and the internet by the Ada part.
