New to ada, a few questions

Hello,
I am a strong python programmer that is looking for a compiled language to
complement my tool chest. I tried C but those pointers are an annoyance, I
tried C++ but there to the pointers and it's OO weirdness kicked in. Then  I
stumbled on an Ada tutorial, I dislike the Pascal-like coding style but
there seems to be no pointer and it can be compiled to native byte code !
 I would like to know, what good books are there for learning ada ( some
sort of tutorial/reference book). How "fast" is compiled Ada code by this I
mean is it like C/C++ or more like Java? I read that it is possible to
interface Ada with C? How is this done? Can I use say stdio.h in an Ada
program? How about interfacing with C++ or objective C? Are there any GUI
librairies (windows, BSD, Mac OS X)? Has any Ada compiler been made to
compile code for microcontrollers ( PIC, 68hc11, etc )? How does the
threading work? I think this should suffice for a first post.

Best Regards

Stephane
