There is an entertaining column in eWeek (June 11, 2001, page 47) with the
title, "C++ Falls Short of an 'A'," by Peter Coffee. He has some kind
words for Ada as well as for Java and Modula-2. Some of you might
want to thank him.

Actually, most of his "kind words" seem to be reserved for Java. He was nice
enough to parrot an industry report that they'd rather see Modula-2 or Ada in
use (based on type-safety issues, which I guess Java would share). Its a shame
that we have to be actively thankful when a journalist refers to a report with
actual information in it, rather than just mindlessly fanning the hype flames
like a palace eunuch, but I guess that's where we're at.
On a more positive note, I loved this comment:
"Is it an advantage that more C++ programmers can always be found when needed?
Or is it a serious problem that you always seem to need one more?"

I'm guessing this article is not on line? It does not appear anywhere from
the eWeek website search.

O.K. To answer my own question:
http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2769111,00.html
Look under "Columnists"
So much for the quality of search engines.

Anyone have an idea what Peter means by "Industrial advisory boards"?
Is that just the MISRA for automotive or are there others?
Thanks
