While it's true what f95toli says about Ada, it's also true that Ada is a procedural language, and the trend is away from purely procedural languages. Yes, Ada 95 adds OO extensions, and I'll even say that they have done a better job than some with that, but this kind of after the fact grafting is never really clean. I'd level the same criticism at C++, by the way, the language I do most of my coding in.
As far as whether Python or Ruby is easiest, I'd try the browser-based demos I linked to above and make up your own mind. The Ruby one has a very nice tutorial; I haven't run the Python one.
