I teach Java and C++ at university level here in Sweden, and I frequently
turn to
Ada to illustrate remedies for the dangers and pitfalls of programming. I
put a lot
of effort into persuading the powers that be that Ada should be used as a
vehicle
for teaching programming concepts and techniques. With all too little
success.
I might add. At least my students know what Ada is - and that it really
should
be used instead of the horrors they have to learn - C++ and Java.
