JavaScript has had a huge market share in presentation layer
in web applications for decades.
Either companies don't know how to profit maximize or
JavaScript is/was a good choice for this type
of code.
Small code bases, frequent releases and high user
tolerance for small ooopses favor a language like
JavaScript. Ada would not work well in this context
from a business perspective.
Code bases are not small anymore though. And TypeScript
has taken huge chunks of market share from
JavaScript in recent years.
If you really want Ada for this, then:
