My school used Ada to teach programming before switching to Java which was the new thing. At that time, it was a nice alternative to C/C++ for learning. Overall, it's quite a simple language. Type safe, good module system, generics... Although I don't know if there's much to learn from Ada nowadays. Also, I have no idea what the tooling is like nowadays: IDE support, package management, linters and so on...
