A careful look at every big business I have worked with says
otherwise. The organization I'm at now is in fact half way into this
transition from C++ to Java. Granted my conclusions are based on a
very small subset of the IT industry. I assume your conclusions come
from the "Smalltalk Reloaded: Bits of History From the Golden Age"
article? Perhaps this was the case, but the fortune 500 orgs I've
worked for all were doing C or C++ and slowly moving toward Java.
