I have heard rumors that Rational and several other vendors are dropping C++ support in favor of C# and Java. C++ is starting to be thought of as legacy code and it is hard to find new programmers who are even interested in it. I suspect in 2-3 years if you are still programming only in C++ you will be out of a job. . . . Ok...Truth is I have not heard the above rumor but I am starting it. I have heard the Rational rumor a few times..Would be kind of nice for a comment to show up from Rational here about it. I suspect (hope) part of this is being caused by Rational dropping the VADS product line (the older Verdix Ada 83 only compiler) in favor of Apex (which supports Ada 83 and 95).
