I wish I could take this course. Compression and Cryptology are two of my
pet interests. I have written a fair bit of code in Ada in this arena. IMHO
Ada is perfect for this purpose.
C in particular is horrible IMHO -- if you ever want to go back and study
the programs sometime later on. In spite of the years of C programming
experience, I find even code from reputable journals like Dr Dobbs are
somewhat unintelligble.
If you would like some samples, I will be happy to send them.
