I know a university student who did this in a data structures
class. Instead of writing the assignments in C or C++, he
did them in Ada. Turned them in to a surprised professor.

He did get a good grade in the class. The professor was not so
narrow-minded as to require him to re-do it in C++. He persuaded
the professor that the objective of the class was to learn the
data structures and algorithms, not to use some particular language.
I suspect most professors would be too myopic to appreciate this. But
there are a few enlightened souls on some faculties.
