   I'm not the least bit worried about the Russkies gaining any technical
   edge over American private industry;  the U.S. government, however, may
   be another story.  Picture flying an F-30, all of its systems programmed
   in Ada by one of the nifty companies which regularly make headlines for
   their dealings with the U.S. military, along with an appropriate mix of
   8-A subs, against a MIG-45 programmed in Borland's Turbo C 2.0 or Zortech's
   C++ (either of which said Russkies might have for roughly $100)...  Care
   to bet who'ld win??

Ever tried writing a million lines of C in Turbo?  Good luck... 1/2 :-)
