The computer language, ADA, was commissioned in 1979 by the United States Department of Defense. It was named after Augusta Ada Lovelace because she is considered the first computer programer. ADA is a general-purpose language designed to be readable and easily maintained. It is efficient for machines, yet easy to use.
