You&#x27;re nitpicking, leaving out information, and trying to change the topic.<p>I said &quot;over 10 years&quot; because the first &quot;official&quot; flight was probably not the first flight ever.  Change it to &quot;over 9 years&quot;.  Whatever.  Practically the same thing.<p>The next sentence in the Wikipedia article you quoted says the grounding from 18 January 2013 was lifted 28 February 2013.  Likewise the June 2014 grounding was lifted shortly after.<p>Regardless, I said &quot;mostly bug free,&quot;, not &quot;entirely bug free&quot;.  Most aircraft get grounded at some point due to issues or accidents that are discovered after they&#x27;ve been flying a while, so it&#x27;s really not very exceptional, and hardly means the entire project is a failure.<p>Do any of your nitpicks change the fact that that the article posted here isn&#x27;t about the C++ software on the plane, but is about the non-C++ software running ground systems?<p>I don&#x27;t have any opinion on whether the plane is a waste of money or a failure or not, but the headline is misleading, and people are missing the real point of the article.
