I use more Ada than anything for side projects. It's kind of a pain but that's really kind of its strength. Like, if you have type A that is a type B, and you try to put a type A into a type B variable, it will make you explicitly cast it or instead declare the variable as an access all B'class and put an access A in it.

Basically if there's anything that looks like it might have been a brainfart, it won't even compile until you reassure it that you meant what you said. Which actually saves hours and hours of debugging.

I just wish its error messages were easier to decipher.

My first language was Apple BASIC, on an old IIc. But that was horrible amd I never managed to get it to do amything but print some text. The first language I ever managed anything with was C.
