I'm currently a Computer Science student, and the current languages they are
pushing on us are C/C++ and Java. My uncle likes to tell stories of the
days
when he programmed in Ada when he was in college and for a while thereafter,
so I did some research and found that Ada had both an "83" standard as well
as
a newer "95" standard. I'm going to have a lot of free time in the summers,
and I thought that working on some Ada 95 stuff might be fun, since it's a
little different than the mainstream of everyone using C/C++. But anyway,
what are the advantages of using Ada over C/C++? Does it generate faster
code? More secure code? I heard it either is or used to be used in several
government agencies, so I know it's gotta be superior in some way.
Please respond via email... thanks!
David
