No it didn't. The Ada language has been extended and updated regularly; 
a new standard is due to appear in 2012. Several compilers are 
available, one of the best being gnat, which is a part of gcc and is 
freely available on many platforms. See libre.adacore.com and 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_(programming_language).

Agreed.

The number of people working with Ada is certainly smaller than for 
Java, but far from zero. Even the USENET group comp.lang.ada is quite 
active.
