Personaly, I kinda like Ada. I don't know if it's really a good language to
start computer science on, but I've already started, so what the Heck.
I'm into my second semester of CS, and I've pretty much gotten used to
Ada. I like some of its structuring, and once you get used to it, it is
pretty nice(personal opinion.) However, We have had something like 50% of
the class drop because it's rather difficult...
