- How many of the people who say this have actually used C++ enough to
- understand it? I know it's popular today to dump on C++, but my experience has
- been that most of the people who produce one-liners like this simply don't
- know what they're talking about. If relying on that sort of ignorance is the
- best you can do to defend ADA, so be it. But I'll bet that if you try you can
- come up with arguments that are actually based on fact. Those would lead to a
- much more interesting and useful discussion.
