Here are three, based on my experiences since the University of Dayton's
switch from Ada to C++ several years ago.
To take advantage of strong typing from the beginning
To avoid traps built into the languages (E.g., "=" vs "==", array overruns)
To take advantage of helpful error messages

Subject: The question at hand:
I am surprised there have been no takers yet (ok, I know, turkey weekend,
but still). I am hoping to use responses to build a better FAQ, articles,
etc. The question was:
Why should any one learn Ada as their first language?
If we can't give a compelling answer to a question like that, we are in big
trouble....
