Ada is a beautiful language, but the licensing issues, the archaic and bloated IDE tooling combined with the proliferation of ancient bitrotting libraries are crippling Ada's potential.

Drake [1] is a promising new Ada runtime with non-GPL license that deserves more support.

Similarly, DRACO is ISC licensed [2].

Of course, these projects aren't backed by moneyed interests like AdaCore is, so they get no love.
