I love it!

Coincidentally, after I managed to get my sister to name her daughter Ada after the programming language, I will eventually have to make an effort to get her acquainted with programming. This book will make a good starting point.

Ha, and Ada the programming language is named after Ada the badass.

I know, that is why I suggested the name. I would not have suggested she call her daughter COBOL or BASIC. (FORTRAN could make a cool name, though.)
Make sure she names her son Haskell.
