You're nitpicking, leaving out information, and trying to change the topic. I said "over 10 years" because the first "official" flight was probably not the first flight ever. Change it to "over 9 years". Whatever. Practically the same thing. 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. Regardless, I said "mostly bug free,", not "entirely bug free". Most aircraft get grounded at some point due to issues or accidents that are discovered after they've been flying a while, so it's really not very exceptional, and hardly means the entire project is a failure. Do any of your nitpicks change the fact that that the article posted here isn't about the C++ software on the plane, but is about the non-C++ software running ground systems? I don'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.
