Hah! This brings back memories as in 1998 I had Professor Feldman as a CS freshman at GWU. And, you guessed it, we learned Ada as our first language.

The main thing I remember is that it was very annoying to be fixing indentation issues on a terminal text editor, although learning about packages was very cool. Irrationally, the indentation strictness annoys me in modern languages like Python, too :) that, and using := instead of = felt like a waste!
