Untried and/or untrue?
From The X Journal, November-December 1994, pg 6 (a very C/C++ oriented
magazine from SIGS Pulications, which also publishes the C++ Report and
Journal of OOP):
Forrester Research in Cambridge Massachusetts surveyed MIS executives
from 51 of the Fortune 1000 companies. Only 12% of the software staff
were experienced in C programming, and only 3% in OOP.

I haven't read the study, but probably only means that many companies
are outsourcing their MIS software development or buying COTS. And
those companies left which haven't gone those routes have a large
mainframe legacy they are loathe to re-engineer.
Would anyone who has actually read the report care to comment?

It is very irresponsible to post a flame bait to multiple news groups
in the name of more Ada acceptance. It only serves to annoy readers of
other groups without any positive effects. Please don't drag other
groups into the Ada flame fest.
