That joke actually originated with Pascal. Though I suppose Ada took it to

It seems much more appropriate for Ada (though Pascal also had stricter 
checking and stronger types than most other popular languages had when 
Pascal was developed).

That’s why Ada was built on Pascal: if you want something intended for 
high-reliability, safety-critical applications, why not build it on a 
foundation that was already the most, shall we say, anal-retentive, among 
well-known languages of the time?

And there's ADA, and there's Ada, the lady.

And she wrote.

"The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate 
anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can 
follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical 
relations or truths."

And so she knew what the capabilites of the Analytical Engine were, 
exactly what programming was, what and what it could not achieve, and 
how set out making it achieve what it could achieved. And so she had it, 
and in a sense, ADA solved all issues.

And no formal computer science education. Of course.

No, there's Ada the programming language, named after Lady Ada Lovelace.

For those that perhaps don't understand these things, all-caps names are 
usually used for acronyms, such as BASIC, or languages from before small 
letters were universal in computer systems, such as early FORTRAN. 
Programming languages named after people are generally capitalised the 
same way people's names are - thus Ada and Pascal.

What I think you are trying to say, but got completely lost in the last 
sentence, is that Lady Ada Lovelace is often regarded (perhaps 
incorrectly) as the first computer programmer.

She had a great deal of education in mathematics - just like most 
computer science pioneers.

Indeed.  And ADA has a very different meaning stateside.

So what I'm trying to say is that she did it, and everyone else just 
knocked out the code. Once you understand what you are doing in this 
way, it's wrapped up. She solved it. So early on.

Look at sentence two. She knew what that machine was.

She was the first, in written records, to appreciate some of the not-so-
obvious issues in computer programming.

Yes.  That includes realising that computers could do more than number 
crunching.  She was also involved in checking, correcting and commenting 
some of Babbage's programs, and also was the first to publish an 
algorithm (for Bernouli numbers) designed specifically for executing on 
a computer.  And she did all this without a working computer.

So while calling her "the first computer programmer" is inaccurate, she 
was definitely a key computer science pioneer.

Or, conversely, realizing that all forms of computation (including symbol 
manipulation) can be expressed as arithmetic? Maybe that came later, cf 
“Gödel numbering”.

That's also a reasonable way to put it.  I have not read any of her 
writings, so I don't know exactly how she described things.

> Maybe that came later, cf

That's getting a few steps further on - it is treating programs as data, 
and I don't think there's any reason to suspect that was something Ada 
Lovelace thought about.  It's also very theoretical, while Ada was more 
interested in the practical applications of computers.

Akin to giving somebody a hammer and they proceed to smash their own 
hand with it. Then they say, well, that hammer is dangerous and the 
person that gave it to me should be sued for negligence... Wow, lets 
think about writing up a 1000 pages on why hammers should be banned? 
Hyper sarcastic, I know, but it the key fits... ;^)

Sorry for the sarcasm.

A responsible, good progreammer or a better C/C++ pre-processor can 
avoid a lot of problems!!

Or maybe A.I.-assisted code analyzer?? But there are still blind spots...

I think AI could be used and give goods result but it is not ideal.
The advantage of AI it could understand patterns. Like the names init 
and destroy could work as tips or patterns.

However, I think programming needs a formal language for contracts and 
the static analysis needs to check them.
Also ideally is better contracts for the interface rather having to see 
the body of the functions.
