Ada has a long record of being ahead of its time.
Ada 83 had templates and multithreading, that appeared in other mainstream languages nearly 15 years later. The latest incarnation of the language, officially standardized by ISO in December 2012, continues with this tradition. From programming by contract to multicore support, with sophisticated memory management schemes, and more, Ada is steaming ahead of the crowd!
