I miss working in Ada, but I don't miss the industry. Working in SPARK Ada and Prolog early in my career taught me the importance of understanding what the "philosophy" of a language was in order to use it well.

Some times it can take a while to understand what idomatic programs look like in a new language, especially when it's a very differnt model to ones you have been used to.
