Wrong on both counts. I want people with very little language training or even
software engineering training (if any) to quickly understand the algorithms and
data structures I'm defining. This includes hardware engineers, system test
engineers, IIV&V, SQA, System Safety, etc. I want them to be able to understand
those programs, even if they are 50K source lines of code or more. Ada works
very well for this purpose. Does C++? Sounds like it's a non-issue, since C++
programmers only write for themselves and their fellow programmers.
