ada n. a pascal-descended language that was at one time made
   mandatory for department of defense software projects by the pentagon.
   hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that, technically, it is
   precisely what one might expect given that kind of endorsement by fiat;
   designed by committee, crockish, difficult to use, and overall a
   disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle one common description was
   "the pl/i of the 1980s". hackers find ada's exception-handling and
   inter-process communication features particularly hilarious. ada
   lovelace the daughter of lord byron who became the world's first
   programmer while cooperating with charles babbage on the design of his
   mechanical computing engines in the mid-1800s would almost certainly
   blanch at the use to which her name has latterly been put; the kindest
   thing that has been said about it is that there is probably a good small
   language screaming to get out from inside its vast, elephantine bulk.

ada
     
         after ada lovelace a pascal-descended
        language, designed by jean ichbiah's team at cii honeywell
        in 1979, made mandatory for department of defense software
        projects by the pentagon.  the original language was
        standardised as "ada 83", the latest is "ada 95".
     
        ada is a large, complex, block-structured language aimed
        primarily at embedded applications.  it has facilities for
        real-time response, concurrency, hardware access and
        reliable run-time error handling.  in support of large-scale
        software engineering, it emphasises strong typing, data
        abstraction and encapsulation.  the type system uses name
        equivalence and includes both subtypes and derived types.
        both fixed and floating-point numerical types are supported.
     
        control flow is fully bracketed: if-then-elsif-end if,
        case-is-when-end case, loop-exit-end loop, goto.  subprogram
        parameters are in, out, or inout.  variables imported from
        other packages may be hidden or directly visible.  operators
        may be overloaded and so may enumeration literals.  there
        are user-defined exceptions and exception handlers.
     
        an ada program consists of a set of packages encapsulating
        data objects and their related operations.  a package has a
        separately compilable body and interface.  ada permits
        generic packages and subroutines, possibly parametrised.
     
        ada support single inheritance, using "tagged types" which
        are types that can be extended via inheritance.
     
        ada programming places a heavy emphasis on multitasking.
        tasks are synchronised by the rendezvous, in which a task
        waits for one of its subroutines to be executed by another.
        the conditional entry makes it possible for a task to test
        whether an entry is ready.  the selective wait waits for
        either of two entries or waits for a limited time.
     
        ada is often criticised, especially for its size and
        complexity, and this is attributed to its having been designed
        by committee.  in fact, both ada 83 and ada 95 were designed
        by small design teams to be internally consistent and tightly
        integrated.  by contrast, two possible competitors, fortran
        90 and c++ have both become products designed by large and
        disparate volunteer committees.
