ADA is a programming language created to replace FORTRAN. Is is named after
Ada Byron, which is recognised to be the world's frist programmer back in
1851.

The language looks a bit like a mix between modern PASCAL and JAVA. There is
a very fixed structure (just like PASCAL), and works moduled (well,
packages). It has a very tied type definition just like most modern
languages such as PASCAL, JAVA, etc. It was especially developed for
scientific purposes just like FORTRAN. And was immediatly organised by a
commity and focused on an ISO standard.
The latest incarnations are Object-Oriented.
