When I first started my undergraduate studies as a computer science
major, I was forced to use ADA in an introductory course.. Mind you I
was already familiar with C++ at that time..but after dealing with ADA
and compilet time errors for about a year, I decided to change my
major to mech eng..

Now, after many years, I started to revisit ADA and I seem to catch on
to it.. but I feel (i know) its mostly due to my own experience and
maturity level..

So, I have to ask your opinion.. DO you think that the push for
universities to use ADA is a big conspiracy among academicians to kill
the passion of comp. sci in young students who would like to become
software engineers???? I do not see any other reason why..
