I interviewed with them in the late 80's. they were just then moving away from their own proprietary programming language(s?), not ADA, just beginning to open into C, perhaps others. Anyone know of this? What is the name of this language? Interesting NSA history transition, presumably, from the considerable force of recruiting mass civilian literacy with the downside of its security vulnerability.
- tptacek 13y agoIt's worth mentioning that NSA is a very large organization with lots of different functions. I can imagine a stodgy Ada-programming division in the NSA living alongside a division that, say, knew how to reliably exploit heap overflows in 1991.
