In any case, the Ada job is "easy" to make up: 1. invent a product, 2. implement it in Ada, 3. sell it. Three easy steps and you have Ada job. ;-) To be more serious: I don't think that learning any language with the intention of finding a job with it is a good approach. Learning Ada is very stimulating (it is for me) even if you use something else at work. I'm a C++ programmer in general (+ various adventures with other languages), but just learning Ada changed the way I think about my work. This itself is already rewarding and that's why I recommend some Ada reading to other C++ programmers. -- Maciej Sobczak http://www.msobczak.com/
