[cctalk] Re: What constitutes a dead computer language

Well, maybe my memory is getting flawed (it was 25 years ago and I am 75 now) but we started using GNAT right from the very beginning at the University I worked at.  One of our professors was a friend of Dewar. We jumped on the Ada bandwagon immediately replacing Pascal as our CS1 and CS2 language with Ada. (For a number of years I got irate emails from previous students bitching about the fact that they spent so much time on Ada and went out into a workplace that didn't use it.)  I distinctly remember working with C output.  Unless there was another Ada compiler at the time.  I will have to try and go back thru my massive repository and check it out again.
