Programming language named after a pioneering programmer (3)

I believe the answer is:

ada

(Other definitions for ada that I've seen before include "Woman" , "-- Lovelace, pioneer in computing" , "Girl's name, one letter short of a man's name" , "girl?" , "Computer language; girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
