You really can't spend years learning Ada per se (i.e. the
syntax, semantics and style).
You *can* spend years learning how to use Ada well, but most of
this knowledge is in fact language independent. For example,
if you really learn how package abstraction works, you will
be able to use headers in C to achieve many of the same
structuring advantages, even in the absence of critical
capbilities like information hiding.
