I'm certainly not qualified to parttake in this fla^H^H^Hheated debate
about Ada vs. C++ -- however, I believe Booch (in "Object oriented
analysis and design") cites an example program that shrunk 90% when
recoded into C++ from Ada.  Question is, is this typical?  And if so,
is it easier to read/maintain 100K lines of Ada than 10K lines C++?
