Why don't people read before writing?

The OP claimed that the reason various battlefield
communications systems didn't properly talk to each
other was that they were programmed in different
languages. This is utter nonsense. For systems to
interoperate, they either all have to adhere to a
rigorously defined protocol, or they have to be
developed in tandem.

The Ada web server that keeps getting mentioned here
has no trouble serving browsers written in C++, I'm
sure.
