Sure, will do. But once I'm through John English's book, and the Ada05
rationale.

I was wondering why more people don't use Ada. So far, it's much
easier than C++ and the compiler errors are 100x friendlier. I mean,
even dynamic languages (Python, I'm looking at you) don't have the
kind of programmer friendly, human readable errors GNAT has been
spitting out.

Thank you everyone for the help :) I've bookmarked all the links from
this thread. I'll go over them tonight.
