These two questions (what does it look like, and how do
I write hello world) have almost nothing at all to do
with one another.

Ada is about writing large programs.

Small programs have almost nothing to do with large
programs. I remember someone from NASA once saying that
studying small programs and thinking you are making
progress on understanding how to write large programs is
like NASA having an astronaut climb a tree -- well he's
making progress, he is closer to the moon :-) :-)
