Mom used to say, "If you can't say anything nice..."

I said I was a beginner to programming; I didn't say I was brain dead or
illiterate. It doesn't take Mensa affiliate to read the C, C++, Java
newsgroups and see that beginners are soon befuddled by non-intuitive
syntactical clutter and compiler catastrophes.

This was precisely the purpose of my original post - to see if the Ada
language and community was a congenial place to commit to my learning curve,
yet it's precisely your sort of undergraduate snottiness that puts visitors
off. Happily, I've found that there are some inspiring adults here,
possessed of a generous spirit.  Read and learn boys since I assume from
your tone that you both must be about 15 years old.
