Some years ago, I attended an introductory course on CMM.  Two 
classmates worked in military avionics.  They told me that there was a 
trend to move from ADA to C++ because "it was becoming standard".  That 
was one of the most depressing and frightening things I have heard in a 
while.

However, I understand that Airbus uses both ADA and C++ in critical systems.
