   Factor into your calculations that there IS NO STANDARD for many
   commonly-used languages (incl. C and C++)...

Minor nitpick: actually the ANSI standard for C was passed years ago,
although ANSI compliant compilers have only recently become available
for many systems.  The C++ ANSI standard is still several years away....

   , and, in fact, there are large portability problems for non-trivial 
   non-Ada-based applications across even rather similar environments.  
   (Right now, I'm trying to port the Aegis project-control system from 
   Sun to Iris, and the bug-chasing is annoyingly complex...)

Is this the fault of the languages used or of differences between 
operating systems?
