- I'm one of those people who was taught Ada as a first language, and have since
- tried other languages, finding that I much prefer Ada to other languages, (I've
- tried Basic (ick!!), Pascal, C (who hasn't!), M68000 assembly, ML, POP11, and
- various Robotic languages (VAL II, RAPT, and AL).
-
- I'm now a postgraduate student at UCW Aberystwyth, Wales, where I also did my
- first degree (Comp Sci). Ada is the taught language of this department, but there
- are moves to incorporate some C into the second year, to give a broader experience
- of programming languages! >8->
