Having just gotten a 97% in my first formal Java class,
I'd have to say that for the pedagogical assignments,
Ada would have been slightly better for most of them.
Java was better for the O-O features, but _only_ because
they were designed for Java's confusion between encapsulation
device and inheritance device.
More than once I noted that the assignment begged
for Ada's enumeration types, numeric derived types,
and/or subtypes.
