As has been mentioned many times here and elsewhere, the critical thing is
to learn how to program, that's the hard part. Ada makes that part a little
less painful than learning C or C++, but the issue of learning particular
syntax is pretty much irrelevant, what you need to learn is how programs
and algorithms are structured -- again, Ada makes that tough job of learning
a bit easier.
