If VSI didn't even consider it worthwhile to have an Ada compiler for

 Yes, it's a pity, that ADA didn't make the first cut, defense shops with
deep pockets might be disappointed.

Ada has a lot of good features.
But I don't think there is a commercial market for Ada on VMS.
ACT dropped VMS support.
The German GNAT for VMS Alpha initiative did not take off.
The French GNAT for VMS Itanium initiative did not take off.
But as a community project then maybe.
The source for the French GNAT for VMS Itanium are here:

Anyone could try make it work on VMS x86-64 (and maybe start
upgrading as it is based on GCC 4.7).
