What is your opinion about Ada(programming language)

Hello, from a few days I want to learn Ada(I don't know why). What is your opinion about this language. I see that a lot of critical software is written in Ada. Should I take time to learn it. I don't think that I will ever use it but for some reason I just want to learn it some king of insight

I will be very grateful to here your opinion about the language.

For fun, sure, if you have that kind of time to kill.

Ada is a fundamentally sound programming language, kind of a super Pascal used heavily by the military for a long time. Leans a bit towards Modula-1 structure if I remember right.

If you want to learn programming languages to show off yet demonstrate you know something useful, stick with the C-family of languages:
Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, Java, C#, Dart, Swift, C, C++, etc.

Well i'm only 16. I guess I have enough time to lose

Also you said that this language is used by military, I want to become malware analyst, do you think that this language can help me with my this job. I'm familiar with C languages (Python, C, C++).

I don't think Ada would be that useful in malware dissection. I think you'd be better off with the C languages and assembler.
