From my perspective, I'd say it's because there isn't much talk about Ada as a technology. It comes up a lot when Rust is discussed, but I never see details besides built-in ranges for numbers. I can't even remember ever hearing anything much about the library/tooling Ada ecosystem.

Also, Ada users seem to be more focused on technical content about safety/mission critical things, like this discussion. But this is a meta-area where no specific features or solutions are in focus. When there's a discussion about zero-copy parsing, compiler optimizations, platform support, scalability or any other everyday technical topic, noone knowing Ada seems to join in with their perspective and experience.

So my advice to the Ada community would be to talk more details, talk more about what you love. Tech is a big field and it's currently a lot of work to get to know Ada from the outside.
