Where are the success stories for C++ in large DoD efforts? Since I
don't
do C++ I don't see them. Are there any? We know of Ada success
stories.
I'm hearing rumors of a large C++ "national systems" program that is
failing.
Program is way behind schedule and now the gov't is questioning the
contractor.
I don't know the cause of the failure or if its recoverable. But this
could
be a C++ failure that should be highlighted.
We need to stress to these managers that there are Ada success stories.
