- 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++?
