Yes. If you want to try it look for GNAT (GNU/Ada compiler) or Aonix ObjectAda
which make available a free (yet limited) version of their compiler.

No. Ada first normalization was on 1983 named Ada83. The second norm was
from 1995 which is called Ada95 or just Ada at this point.

To learn more about Ada:

   http://www.adapower.com

Look for the AdaFAQ, but there is also plenty of resources there.
