:
: 5)  Anyone who would choose C++ of Java for a DoD safety-critical weapon
: systems program
:      is maknig that choice on the basis of concerns that have nothing to
do
: with reliability or
:      correctness of the technology.

Which brings me back to the original question: Does anyone know of a
specific safety-critical application (military or non-military) that was
implemented in C++ and subsequently put into operational use? Alternately,
can anyone suggest a newsgroup that might be more appropriate for this
question?
