IBM code to go aloft with NASA space telescope

200,000 lines of C++ code ???: Oh good grief! IBM, are you kidding?!? You could've made a better choice with APL2. APL2 is your program product, isn't it? You could probably have done the same work with 100 lines of code (or less) compared to 200,000 lines of C++.

What a shame. You could've made a real difference using a superior language, but (instead) you used something else inferior like C++. Isn't C++ what people refer to as "spaghetti code"?
