- ``was possibly''?
-
- This is a fine example of the level of debate in this group. The
- experience reports in question described systems implemented in
- Smalltalk. No parallel system had been implemented in C++, so how
- could anybody draw such a conclussion? Further, no such conclusion
- were mentioned at the time by the people giving the experience reports.
-
- What WAS said in one of the reports was that Smalltalk was chosen
- because it had a better programming environment at the time.
-
- Futhermore, you completely fail to mention the experience paper
- pp 178-183 in the proceedings giving error statistics for a large
- C++ project, Rational Rose.
