This guy knows his stuff! Allowing "gurus" and C programmers (with "link" dependencies) to control your IT department is BAD NEWS! Unfortunetly, this is the case in MANY IT orgs. There is NO standardization - only loosely followed "best practices" rule the day.
The government HAD the right idea (a first!), when it developed Ada and insisted on its use. If "C" gives you too much rope - Ada gives you none. There are NO pointers in Ada ("proving" computer algorithms is impossible if you use pointers and/or array indexes), and it provides just about everything you need in an advanced language ("raise" for exceptions, "modules" for abstraction). The trouble with Ada is it is TOO restrictive for the "fly-by-the-pants" programmers that are used to "C" and misuse of pointers. - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 04/20/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
