Althoug I do not program in Ada (yet), I really like nested procedures.
I learned to use them in PASCAL, and a few Years ago, when I did a Project
in Modula II, i was able to use them, again.
The Idea behind them is, to make everything as local as possible,
w.g. to avoid namespace pollution.
ANd there are a lot of nice things, you only can to that elegant with
nested procedures. Nested procedures have full access to all local
variables of the enclosing procedures. If you want to do it in C, you
have to use static variables and will loose reentrancy.
