- While experience in the commercial world has proven time and time again that
- programmers are not capable of capturing most bugs in the program when using
- C/C++ until well into the development. C/C++ is inherently one of the most
- error prone languages around. Dangling pointers and memory leaks are all
- slip into code much too easy, and are horrible to try and track down. The
- folks at Purity Software(C) are making money hand over fist selling products
- that help with just these problems. Perhaps you've heard of 'Purify'?
-
- If C++ is soo great why do most major developments severly limit the features
- that they allow used in the project. Templates and multiple inheritance
- (C++'s _great_ features) are usually the first to go. Wouldn't you rather
- have the compiler tell you that your code is crap before you try and run it?
-
- Try Ada 95, all the benefits of easy to understand syntax (you can read
- tommorow or next year!) with all the great object orientated features you want
- along with full multi-tasking in the language!
-
- Check out the web sites below and see for yourself. You won't be sorry.
