Very agreed. What makes Ada, Ada to me is:

_Readability_
Type System, subtypes and non aliased new types
Clear interface language for subprograms
Nested blocks with exceptions allowing greater use of the stack and minimizing need for memory management by the programmer
Integration of concurrency features in to the core language
Exact, clear, readable ways to map memory to types
Packaging
