At the same rate, Ada is so strongly typed and has such rigid syntax that
it can aid in the location of bugs far more quickly than with C or C++.

I also believe that anyone who learned Pascal in college can pick up Ada
very quickly.  I did.  But maybe it is easier for some people than others,
I don't know.
