[comp.lang.c++] Situation of C++ in Europe ??

toelle@quando.UUCP (Wolfgang Toelle) (10/30/89)

Hello world -),

many of the net comments concerning C++ are coming from
the United States. This is obvious since C++ is developed
at AT&T and the distribution is probably better than in Europe.

What I would like to know is:            

* what is the situation of C++ in Europe (especially Germany)
  in general?

* what about the educational point of view? 

* are there enough good books written in german and other European languages?

* are there lectures at Universities?

* which companies do already use C++ for commercial products

* very important:  why do companies do or don't use C++? 


What I would like to know in general :

What can be the reason that C++ is not that well known over here?


Any comments (also from the friends overseas) are welcome. If you
like you may post to me directly. I will give a summary on the net.
