Actually, that's terrible. Some figures without context, quoting some
judges-assigned scores using uncertain criteria, comparing to C++ from
as early as 1991! (C++ as we use it today is about 10 years old) Some
factual statements are incorrect (like C++ does have namespaces -
perhaps it didn't back then)

Still, what struck me is that the author doesn't recommend Ada for R&D
or anything that won't be "fielded". And if C++ was better for R&D in
the 90s... Is this the general consensus?

Anyway, I found this: http://www.ddj.com/184409641
which looks reasonable, but I haven't read it yet.
