Who is Ada? Ada is an awesome lady. She is often credited as being the first computer programmer.
Ada Lovelace was one of the world's first computer programmers, and one of the first people to see computers as more than just a machine for doing sums. She wrote programmes for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computing machine, despite the fact that it was never built. She also wrote the very first description of a computer and of software.
Ada is also a strongly-typed language named after Ada Lovelace. It's a strongly typed language because it has restrictions on how operations involving values having different data types can be intermixed. It's commonly used in military and aviation. The fly-by-wire system software in the Boeing 777 was written in Ada.
Oh yeah, I love this badge I got from SIGCSE 2009:
