I used ADA, Z, assembler and OCCAM at uni too (as well as Fox DOS!). All great languages which serve completely different purposes. I found assembler the most difficult to get on with. One chap on our course (who is probably the best programmer I ever encountered to this day), wrote a screen saver one evening in assembler just for fun!
