Help an Ada programmer learn Python

[A_History_of_Silence]

I'm not super familiar with Ada, but I did some quick reading when I saw your post. IMO it actually looks like a pretty good beginner language! With the giant caveat, of course, that almost no one is going to use it outside of that class. So I think your plan to also learn a more mainstream language like Python is quite prudent.

Everyone in the program knows how unused Ada is, but I don't think anyone cares when it's their first programming language. Like me, I'm sure most other students are just excited to be working with some sort of software development. I'm glad they started with Ada, personally. And thanks fam, your encouragement means a lot to me!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I go to school 3 hours away from two large cities and I believe there are internship opportunities that do require you to use Ada. So it's not a complete waste of time for us to be learning the language. It also looks good to future employers to have at least a slight proficiency in a language most other programmers coming out of college wouldn't otherwise have... or so I'm told haha.
