Hmmm isn't "most software" legacy COBOL? :-)
There's *no* emphasis on systems-type programming - sum-file?
word-frequency? fasta? etc
We just haven't figured-out a reasonable way to both compare C with
Ada, (Ruby with Tcl) and compare Ruby with Ada.
Maybe we need to use a bimodal data range - 3 high workload (for C and
Ada) and 3 low workload (for Ruby and Tcl).
