One highly unscientific anectodte does not constitue anything close to "proof"
in my book.
However, if there *were* numbers on C vs. Fortran, I wouldn't be shocked to see
Fortran (even F77) come out on top. C's overeliance on pointers cause a great
deal of its problems. But this is all theoretical. The numbers on Ada and C
actually exist.
