After reading this article

<https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/embedded-revolution/article/21805823/assessing-the-ada-language-for-audio-applications>

I was wondering: why then Ada is not used much for signal processing applications?
Either for simulation or for actual implementation? Or is it? As I do not see
many links for Ada in this field.

 From the article above:

"This article presented an overview of the Ada language
and its use in digital-signal-processing applications. We
identified that Ada has many features supporting reliable DSP
software development, such as strong data types, automatic range
checks, overflow checks, and parameter modes."

"In addition, the language facilitates DSP software
development with its native support for fixed-point data
types. Ada offers a great degree of flexibility and abstraction
with features such as packages and generics. Moreover, its
native support for multitasking with focus on safety makes
it easy to convert single-threaded into multithreaded applications."

Any thoughts on this subject? It seems to me, Ada would be perfect for
signal processing instead of using weak typed languages like C and Python.
