Mr John (I'm not going to reveal my secret identity) Black writes:

"Shombe, I feel your pain.  I'm embroiled in a Comparative Programming
 Language class where we have to program in Ada, and the thing is so
 impossible, I'm lucky to even get it to compile, never mind Constraint
 Errors."

Translation:

I'm so hopeless i can't even understand a few rules on how to program
a language.

"And why bother sweating over a language that nobody uses!?
 At least I know C++, and I can pick up Java relatively easily.
 Knowing Ada and Pascal are almost as useful as knowing outer space
 basket weaving."

Translation:

I'm so incapable of realising that another language may have other
points of view to present, that I'll claim it's useless.


Unbelievable!
