At least you didn't say "nobody writes Ada for fun." :-) Having learned programming by looking at source code for Basic games at U of MD, I'm a firm believer that learning should be fun. For this reason I created a "Fun with Ada" lab at http://www.adapower.com/lab/adafun.html We're collecting text and grapical adventure games, controlling model trains, cars, and robots.
