Ada was the first language I learned in college. Our CS professor at junior college was a DOD programmer by day (most of our CS courses at the JC were at night). Looking back, I think it was a good language to start with at the time (this was '94). Plus, it was nice having a professor who actually had current, real-world experience as a software engineer.
