[comp.lang.c++] c++ vs ada

GHGAQBA@BLEKUL11.BITNET (Pottie Karl) (03/12/90)

I'm writing a paper and could use some good ideas. The paper deals with
Ada versus C++ in relation to Object Oriented Programming.

I'd like some ideas, personal opinions , original views upon this subject
matter. Some discussion between C++ and Ada freaks would be very
welcome. Also anything about this related to Entity Relationship (OOPS)
programming would be welcome.

Please no references to books or articles, just send me your mail

Has anyone out there done an (objective) comparison between C++ and Ada for
implementing large scale systems?  I have a need for such a comparison (I
can give more details on the systems area, project size, problem scope, etc.,
if anyone can help).  Some of the issues at hand are ease of design,
implementation, separation of concerns, maintenance, documentation,
software product lifecycle issues, etc.

Please send e-mail to me at dvk@sei.cmu.edu.  Any help will be appreciated.

Netlanders,

The group I work in performs graphics display research. For future graphics 
work an engineer and my supervisor would like to obtain an ada compiler and 
start working with ada. I proposed getting a c++ compiler for our future work. 
To keep an open mind about this, I would like to here from research & industry
that work with c++ or ada especially if they work in a graphics application. 
Please email me your opinions and pro/con lists. If there is an interest in 
the results I will post a summary back to the net. 

Thanks in advance for the response.
