Many military/industrial complex satellites: NASA has designated Ada as the language of choice for any space station and many future projects, the aircraft industries want a single language, and quite a few other companies. You won't find many of them reading the net. The alternative is to have all these companies using "the thousand languages" the DOD found. It's a good question otherwise.
