The most impressive aspect of C++, as reported by a group of programmers
(most of them Fortran & C users) here who were forced to learn & use it for a
task last year, was inheritance. With careful attention to design, they
were able to re-use a lot of their own code, & re-design it quickly when
needed.

We use C++, and there are several people here (myself included) with Ada
backgrounds, who would add to the above observation: Dynamic Binding has,
for us, been a very significant added benefit. The combination of DB and
Inheritance is a very, very powerful mechanism.
