From my experience, it still gets a lot of use in aerospace and defence companies. Outside of those industries I can't think of people even mentioning it really, but again probably biases abound.

Skimming my local jobs list(SE England) I see new listings from both Airbus and BAE Systems looking for Ada developers in the past week.

Yeah but I wonder how much of that is new development or code from the 80s-80s they’re wanting to port to C or C++

Again this personal experience only, but one of the projects I'm linked to is a greenfields Ada project.

However, you'd be correct to say there are an awful lot of multi-decade projects in both the companies I mentioned(and the aerospace/defence in general). For example, last year my main project was work stemming from a design that began in 1997.

Apply to nVidia or Toyota then, they have new projects.
