How does Ada compare in power to modula2 > and the Borland's dialect of Pascal? 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: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Ada The are 192 Web Pages of tutorial material out there.
