Well I have Pascal/Modula 2 experience and found Ada a perfect replacement
for the two. Ada really is the Pascal for grown ups having all the features
which where missing in Pascal. Even Turbo-Pascal comes close to Ada's
Power. As for Modula-2: Apart from the nice support for modules the feature
set was in fact reduced when compared to Pascal.

If you want to learn more about Ada look at:

The are 192 Web Pages of tutorial material out there.
