You heard correct: Ada is indeed the best language that exists for systems
programming, and it is ideally suited for writing operating systems.

You can get lots o' cool info (FAQs, books, tutorials, etc) at the Ada home page

<http://www.adahome.com/>

You can also get a free, high-quality Ada compiler:

<ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/>

that comes complete with documentation and source code.  Cool, huh?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Ada!
