Those of you who missed Don Reifer's presentation at WAdaS last week
should be sure to try and get a copy of his report.

It shows that c++ is cheaper than Ada.  There are a few other factors
that need to be examined.  First the results of the study are derrived
from a small number of c++ project and most of them are in the
telecommunications domain.  Second, the learning curve to go from c to
c++ is much shorter and easier than that for COBOL, Fortran, etc. to
Ada.
