Re: First Ada DO-178 Certification

"“[A]bout half the patterns in the 'Gang of Four'
book only exist because of defects in C++ ...”
Brian Drummond

"As this book is from before the effort to define Ada 9X, it contains
claims that Ada 83 is OO. The object based decompositions in the book
lack inheritance and polymorphism. For areas of his solutions where
classes or abstract data types are not needed, Grady Booch had
abstract-state machines: which he had much more easily represented by Ada
packages than the insecure, inflexible awkwardness of the Singleton
pattern in C++ in Gamma's; Helm's; Johnson's and Vlissides's "Design
Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software"."

A so-called university course demanded us to buy "Design Patterns:
Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" and implement patterns
thereof. This so-called course fraudulently boasts to be about "They
[i.e. Space-Shuttle-software programmers]" Write The Right Stuff" but this
course in no way is suitable for aerospace and instead is about the UML
and curlily braced poop.
