Ada the first programming language? Where did you get that idea from? Ada is relatively modern, designed in the second half of the 70's. It's younger than C.

You are right that Larry borrowed things from Ada. Perhaps the best known is elsif.

    Some of the other borrowed artifacts are package, underscores in numbers 10_000 and (I think) the rarely used apostrophe as a package separator, D'oh.
