Ada was the language our University decided to teach for BSc Computer Science.

Once you learn to code in Ada - every other language looks like a death trap. To say it is unforgiving is and understatement. The huge benefit of this is that you learn to do things "The Right Way TM" (because that is literally the only way Ada would allow you to do something - by the book GoF style)

Anyway fast forward to graduation at a time when PHP was ruling the web - imagine going into a job and saying "Well I can do that with a CGI-Bin I will write in Ada", I literally got laughed out of the room.

TLDR - Great language for airplanes / real time systems - but maybe uni should have taught us something to help us get a real world job (not at Boeing) as our main language!
