But there is no such thing like Objective-Ada, is there ? That would be a clear disadvantage of Ada as an intermediate language. There's no such thing, because Ada has had OOP features (inheritance, polymorphism, abstract procedures and functions, dynamic dispatching) since the 1995 revision.
I think Adriaan was referring to an extension of the Ada language that enables direct interfacing with Objective-C code (including defining subclasses, categories, ...), similar Objective-C++, Objective-Modula2 and Objective-Pascal.
See e.g. <http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_PasCocoa>. Regards, Adriaan van Os
