The fact my university still teaches ada as a coding language in a required class. That's a real disaster. Also had to use racket in another course. Nothing uses racket.

    Ada is a mysterious language and not so terrible to learn programming. It has highly paid positions in safety critical software.

    like @aviophile said. Ada is an language made for safety. there is a 300 page document to help C developers write secure code. 300 pages full of hints on how to avoid use-after-free and other errors.
