Does anyone know anything about this programming language? Or how it works? This is the language the United States Air Force uses, so I was just wondering how hard/ what I could do with it career wise?

It was used a lot in the 60's and 70's... I suspect it's mainly used in legacy systems now.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Ada is still highly used. See that plane your in? Its runnin' Ada.
It was built for real-time systems and is still used anywhere critical. I believe the last revision was 2004-2005.

It's very safe, thus it's widely used in the military. It thrives only in a very specific ecological niche, thus you probably won't encounter Ada unless you're actively searching for it.
