Dear all !


I think, no I am sure that Component Pascal and Oberon programmers and
software developers are very kind and intelligent people. Therefore, we
should not only discuss within our community, but use objective
arguments and be as polite as possible to develop the worldwide
programmer's community.

However, may I draw your attention to my publication from end of 2007 ?

http://www.enisa.europa.eu/doc/pdf/publications/enisa_quarterly_12_07.pdf
(see chapter "Cycles of Software Crises")

Maybe this shows you some additional aspects for assessing and
developing better programming languages and educating better
programmers.


Kindest regards

Markus Bautsch

message was written with a smile, as was my reply. As Robert pointed
out, I really meant to say "facetious" instead of "cynical".In spite of
the very useful nature of a lot of modern software, I'm sure we all
agree that the overall quality is somewhat disappointing.
Unfortunately, I don't think the phenomenon of "job security" is
limited to software. It's probably a general human phenomenon. I
suspect the economists (who have their own brand of job security) have
studied this.Rex Couture----To unsubscribe, send a message with body
