Tom Mackey of Burroughs Distributed Systems Group in Boulder recently passed
along a one-pager from Gary Walker, a DSG manager.  The conclusion was that 
C++ won out in ease of use, development time, execution speed, code & data
size, and maintainability.  Another benefit that others have mentioned is 
that C++ will compile straight C programs with little or no changes needed.

One thing that Stroustrup's book hasn't cleared up for me is:
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE C++?  (I DON'T like C-inc; too close to Sink.  And Isn't
C-Plus taken?)
