Really? I'm understanding right? It's not about Novalogic game F22
raptor? It's F22 raptor military airplane?  Military avionics in C++?

Heh,our MIGS will not shot it : it will fall due to bad pointer
operation or memory leak, without any shot ;-).

There is 2 reasons why c++ is bad in this case:
1:instability by nature(even if no leaks,heap fragmentation,and
inpossible defragmentation),
2:poor programmers.
IMO,
C++ are so widely used mainly because it's popular and simpler(and
lesser cost) to find "experienced" programmer(that newer programmed in
non-c<x>  language,and can't learn different ones).


Bad side of things that next step is nuclear war caused by memory leak
in C++.
