I think the paper
John W. McCormick\vUniversity of Northern Iowa\vSoftware Engineering
Education: On the Right Track
http://www.crosstalkonline.org/storage/issue-archives/2000/200008/200008-McCormick.pdf
has shown that the following basic Ada features were vital for the
success of Ada vs. C:

Modeling of Scalar Objects
  Strong Typing
  Range Constraints
  Enumerations
  Attributes like 'Range ...
  No need for Pointers
Parameter modes for data flow
Named Parameter Assoziation
Flexible array index ranges

But are these sexy? You have to have used them to estimate the value...
