A comparison of experiences with the maintenance of object-oriented systems
Frederic H. Wild · 1990
This paper discusses the relative ease with which systems are maintained using the mechanisms supported by Ada versus those supported by C++. The paper opens with a discussion of significant aspects of object-oriented development, followed by comments about relevant support mechanisms supplied by each language. Qualitative comments are used freely regarding issues of object inter-relationship complexities, object construction and reuse paradigms, readability aspects, and others.
