I suspect that you are a Japanese Joiner as well :-)

I think that any of the regular posters here would be
able to program as well in C++ as in Ada. I'm pretty
sure that if I had to work in Ada it wouldn't take me
very long to get up to expert level.

You're probably right about the level of C++ code around.
It's easy to bludgeon C++ code into submission when it
won't compile, instead of understanding what is wrong.
