That's called "security through obscurity". Not recommended.

That's the wrong way to look at it. An Ada program is better thought of as
"security by simplicity and correctness", because you are running an Ada
that only does a few things (and which can be throughly tested, checked with
static analysis, and so on) rather than a general program that does a
zillion things (with many combinations that can't be tested).

The only place "obscurity" comes into it is that no one else is running the
exact same program as you. So attacks that depend on any sort of knowledge
of the program cannot succeed.

In any case, there is no such thing as "secure", there are only levels, and
for the sorts of non-critical stuff that we're doing, an Ada program is
certainly secure enough. I wouldn't try to run a storefront on it (although
that would be more because you'd have a hard time convincing your bank that
it is OK than any real problems), or anything that needs high-level
security.
