This will eventually turn out to be one of the all time stupid software engineering decisions, one that will end up with lots of people blaming each other for a series of cost-overruns, buggy software, and probably a lot of regrets. However, it is a decision that needs to be experienced so the managers can learn just how hideous C++ is for this kind of software. One can only hope they do learn that lesson and no one will get killed due to a software accident because of it. Richard Riehle
