It's great to see this in the Fighter-Jet programmed mostly with C++, instead of Ada. I've read of rather queer flaws, such as that one mentioned involving the helmets. To its credit, C++ programmers are cheaper and more numerous, so you get what you pay for.

People will mention every catastrophic flaw Ada programs have ever had, but how many people will remember this as an example of how C++ fails at being a real language for real projects?
