I've always thought Ada's syntax was the clearest as to what's being defined and accessed[1]. That being said, it's Ada...so good luck finding a use case.

Ada is often used in microcontrollers where this is very common.

I write command line tools in Ada, and some other things, I've found this bit layout very useful when reading/writing binary file formats, or when binding to C and matching C struct layout.

Fair. I’m quite fond of Ada because or my Pascal/Wirth early origins, but I personally haven’t ever needed to use it. Glad to hear it’s found some uses outside of the US military.
