I was a grad student, and got hooked up with the program verification  
group at my university.  The professor was looking for someone to take  
over experimentation in implementing Ada tasking from someone else  
leaving.  I sat down in front of the computer, with a draft RM in hand  
(this was 1981), and learned the Pascal subset in a usable way in a few  
weeks.
