In a discussion of managers who don't know anything about choosing a
language, C and C++ decisions are equivalent in the vast majority of
cases. The manager thinks the language being used is C++ because that
is the compiler which was purchased. The worst defect of C++ may be
the ability to code in C. Cultural difference make this less of a
problem for Ada compilers that have the ability to drop into assembly
language.
