Ada is a structured language with a Pascal like syntax which may make Ada a suitable teaching language. The Wikibook for Ada is the only Wikibook which has an entry for all Key concepts. Apart from academic use, Ada is professionally used in Air Traffic Control, Aviation (Commercial and Defense), Rail Transportation, Communications (Satellites and Receivers) and Swiss banks - most of which are constantly on the lookout for good Ada programmers.
