Hello,

	I've been hearing some discussion in our department about changing
our primary language from Pascal to something else.

I don't want to start the Ada vs C vs "other" argument.... 

	I would like to hear what people consider important in making a
decision. ( Usefulness in the real world, teaching ease, programming
environment... etc.)

I would also like to find out what some other schools are doing.
