Do you know that the only implementation of Ada 2012 that exists right now is GNAT? And yet quite a few critical users including financial, aviation, and military rely on it. It's from Adacore and you can get (expensive) commercial support and tools for it, but the compiler itself is FOSS, based on GCC. I would expect it's producing more revenue than the whole Forth universe put together.
