Well, I had been a professional programmer for 7 years (Algol, FORTRAN, C, 
PL/M...) before immersing myself in Ada and it was probably a year before I 
felt that I was no longer learning important aspects of the language (a year 
very well spent I might add).  I consider myself reasonably bright so I have 
no difficulty acceptying the claim that there is a shortage of well-trained Ada
engineers.  Actually, I'm ambivalent about the condition ;).
