Jean Ichbiah's team at CII Honeywell, for the US Department of Defense, 1979

Ada is a large, complex block-structured language aimed at embedded computer applications. It has facilities for real-time response, concurrency, hardware access, and reliable run-time error handling. In support of large-scale software engineering it emphasizes strong typing, data abstraction and encapsulation.
