Actually it is the people who designed Ada 79 (Preliminary Ada) and
Ada 80 that you should ask. In any case, Robert Dewar was a
participant, so he can answer the question. ;-) Niklaus Wirth, was
not, to my knowledge a participant, and as far as I can tell, the
Wirth language that had the most impact on Ada 79 was Algol-W (from
1967). Much of that was in the I/O area, and was substantially
revised in Ada 80 and Ada 83.

Actually, I would say that the greater flow was from Ada 83 to
Modula-3 (Note: 3 not 2). Of course, the lack of available
implementations seems to have driven Modula-3 from the scene.
