This discussion and the related points made in "Access procedure to
pointer" make me wonder how people who are now knowledgeable in Ada
learned the language.
As for me, I learned by reading John English's book cover to cover,
and I (think I) reached expert status by processing lots of bug
reports on GCC; this made me study the fine points of the AARM. I did
all that as a hobbyist (i.e. off hours), but I already had been
programming for 12 years in various languages when I started learning.
How about others? Were you a hobbyist when you learned Ada? Did many
people attend formal training?
