Wow, I went to GW and learned Ada in CS051. I didn't have much of a point of reference at the time to compare it to other languages, but it was pretty easy to learn and I enjoyed the class.
I am class of 05 so my intro class was the last one to use ada. I also remember it being very easy on beginners. At the time I was annoyed the underclassmen got java, but now that I know java, no thank you.
