Depends on the field in which the programmer works. My top three with a
target desktop applications would be:

1) Interfaces
2) Container Classes Library
3) Anomumus Access Types

But if you do i.E. Real-Time work it will be something else. Ada is designed
as a multi paradigm language from the beginning and as far as I know [1]
only Oz supports more paradigms as language feature (as opposed to library
features). So in every domain programmers will choose there favourite new
feature.
