Knowing another programming language is good.
Presuming the next programming language will be just like the last is bad.
Ada is particularly useful for projects where the software must be
correct, such as running machinery that might kill people. Although
it can be used for any project, like a web browser, companies working
on projects like that sometimes choose languages whose compilers will
not be so tenacious about reporting programming errors.
A good mental attitude for using Ada is to think of the compiler
as an assistant that will help you find errors before you deliver
them to the user.
