And TeX is similar to C because it uses curly braces for delimiting scopes and has case-sensitive identifiers. :) Ada is nothing like Pascal in spite of some superficial syntactic similarities. I've been asking C programmers what they think of Ada; a common misconception is that it is derived from Pascal, and therefore suffers from its drawbacks. The comparison to Modula 3 is perhaps more benign, but don't mention the P word! >If your interested you should look at the AdaHome website at >http://www.adahome.com/ > >The Lovelace tutorial will give you a good overview. It's a very nice tutorial.
