Hi All,

in the last years efforts have been made to make programming easier and 
understandble by kids.

What if we would apply this approach to the Ada programming language? 
This means that we could write programs using icons and put together the 
commands in a graphical manner. This would lead to easier programming, 
faster bug fixing and better programs.

What do you think?

Best regards

Georg Maubach
