Any one knows if Ada is used in James Webb Space Telescope software.

Either in the control systems or in the embeded software for the Telescope.

https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/

I sure hope they did not use javascript or Python or C for the software.

There is some talk in the following link about its software,  but could
not find what language they used.
