Nah. It's more like a Honda Motor Co., actually. I would rather
probably liken *Fortran* to GM.

AFAICT, you head is deeply embedded in concrete. See, C/C++ are low-level
systems languages. C/C++, and assembly language, are most likely used to
implement the servers, databases, OS's, ect, that GM and all of there
competitors make use of. C/C++ are most likely used to implement the
runtimes/VM's of all the HLL's that GM and there competitors use for custom
software.

So be it.
