Just for the wow effect:

I come from Algol 60, later Pascal. I liked Pascal very much, but what annoyed me was for instance that for looping over arrays, I had to look up the bounds. So I defined functions serving this need.
When I met Ada, this was one of the first wow effects that there are language means for this purpose. Ada 83 had everything I missed in Pascal. Is there any other language on earth providing this?
