I doubt that everybody has the same reason, but here are some arguments: + It is easy to learn (because it is a well-structured language design). + Because it is a language you continue to have benefits from using, also when you become an experienced programmer. + Because it is cool to have parallel processing built into the language. + Because the Ada compiler helps you with identifying your programming errors (and we _all_ make errors occasionally). + Because it makes it easier to write programs that can be moved to different architectures. + Because I say so. :-) Greetings, Jacob -- »By becoming continuous, war has fundamentally changed its character.
