what do you think they mean by saying C/C++ is "cheaper" than Ada? in
what sense? if they measure the time one spends fixing C/C++ bugs that
an Ada compile finds at compile time, they'll find Ada much cheaper.
interesting in that they say "cheaper" then follow that by "engineering
approach".

"Defense is increasingly turning to cheaper programming languages
such as C and C++ to program its systems. DOD is
encouraging systems programmers to use an engineering approach
when selecting a software language, based on a number
of factors including lifecycle costs, risks and interoperability.
"DOD policy now places all programming languages on equal footing, where
capability to provide the best support to the
mission requirement will drive the solution selected, not a one-size-fits-all
mandate," Valletta said. "
