We are currently developing a noncritical moving map type navcomm solution for our Atom based avionics device. The prototype has been done in Python/Qt, now I need to decide on a language to use for the "real" app. Ada or C/C++. I've been a C++ developer for 12 years and loathe the language. Ada seems promising, but I'm a little worried about it's supporting infrastructure, available libraries, developer availability and so on. Has anybody here been through this before? What are your conclusions?

This is a good question.
I have written Ada professionally for many years, as well as C and C++. I enjoy both equally.
With any language, Ada or C/C++ it can be spaghettified.
You're more likely to find a cheap compiler and support with C/C++. Just apply discipline in your coding practices.
