Air defense moving to C++ from Ada? are they crazy? with
all the evidence that Ada is safer and more reliable than any C variation
based language, who would make such a decision? Our tax payers money
is being wasted here. What a waste. Is this supposed to make our defense
software better?

"Experience in
development of large systems using C++ is desired. The project is
making a transition from Ada to C++, so candidate would utilize
knowledge of C++, to mentor other team members who have more of an Ada
background. Knowledge of Ada and Army Air Defense system is a plus.
