Yes, its old and certainly written from a perspective of advocacy, but it didn't seem to be out *slandering* C++. The author(s) definitely have a bias, but that isn't necessarily bad so long as they don't start spreading rumors about C++ having illigitimate children and a bad drug habbit. :-) (Of course, these days, that would probably just mean that C++ was some Hollywood celebrity - and it wouldn't be rumor, but rather, a direct quote from its autobiography. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Hyman Rosen" wrote in message news:1008626816.690418@master.nyc.kbcfp.com... > > Just be aware when reading this paper that it's approaching ten years of > age, > and is full of the typical lies, half-truths, and drive-by shootings that > frustrated > Ada advocates always promulgate against C++. > > >
