Ada Lovelace Host: Melvyn Bragg In Our Time Deep in the heart of the Pentagon is a network of computers. They control the US military, the most powerful army on the planet, and are in turn controlled by a programming language called Ada. It’s named after Ada Lovelace, the allegedly hard drinking 19th century mathematician and daughter of Lord Byron. In her work with Charles Babbage on a steam driven...

Pickens writes “Today when most people refer to Ada it’s usually as a cautionary tale. The Defense Department commissioned the programming language in the late 1970s but few programmers used Ada, claiming it was difficult to use. Nonetheless many observers believe the basics of Ada are in place for wider use. Ada’s stringency causes more [...]

Thanks to G! xxx! Some guys are trying to turn LOLCATS into a programming language… http://lolcode.com So far looks like it would be possible to write a compiler for it. Syntax is fairly similar to something like Ada or another Pascal variant.

Lets be clear, I'm a fan of formalism. The best pure programming language I've ever used was Eiffel, the best programming language I've ever used in a large team for delivering the best code out of average developers and minimising issues was Ada. At Uni I had to learn Z notation and formal proofs and I've even used some of that stuff in certain highly reliable systems I've worked on down the

Is Java partly responsible for a neglect of basic skills in computer science education? Two professors emeritus at New York University, who also happen to be executives at AdaCore, which specializes in the Ada programming language, criticize Java in an article entitled "Computer Science Education: Where Are The Software Engineers of Tomorrow?" in CrossTalk - The Journal of Defense Engineering, this...
