If the students take their Ada out into the real world then they will
find themselves deep in the world of mixed language projects.
Having taught Ada at undergraduate level and then moved out of Academia,
I would suggest that one of the things they must learn is not to
re-invent a wheel when a perfectly good one can be bought off the shelf.
One of the projects that I worked on was the kernel of an air defence
system, written in Ada, of course. But the GUIs, including the simulated
radar displays, where not.
