Just let me add that I do understand that the language is only a part of the
problem. But at least switching from C++ to Ada is quite easy to do.

Other problems (far more complex to fix):

- software not well specified (over specification)
- team not trained sufficently in general
- inssuficient project management
- software not well designed
- configuration management
- too many peoples on the team
- the team does not quite understand the domain they are working on
  (I've seen a banking project using float for the money (under C++) because
   the team have been working on scientific projects before !)
- ...

Pascal.
