well, many historical stuff related to ada lovelace I guess :slight_smile:

Ada is also a good language. there are updates for gcc 3.x and I'm not talkig about that old software GNAT3.14, thats *old*. Yes, we get whooped by the great ada. Professional programmers still use it. Also, I hear around that some people are getting forced to use it in college. --dross

I was forced to use it in college, but that was 12 years ago... It actually wasn't that bad. I certainly liked it better than Pascal...

Its really good compared to some of the languages out there. I still like C and Ruby best. Ada95 is just fun :wink: There is a Ada2005 in the process of beign made/release.
