I guess.
Though I can't say I find there to be much consensus out there about what
language features truly make for robust software development from group
or community efforts.
There's a long history of coders seeking consensus, but not arriving at any
set in stone answers (no carved

I've been using patterns since 1995 and am teaching a course starting

If I wait until I have actual users, I can get
real statistics on how the use the API. We decouple our work this
way.
But in my look of it, properties are a solution to one of a nearly infinite
set
of these kinds

Hello Kirby,
Since this discussion has swerved a little,
In his mind, (and I think in yours as well) computer languages are more
like mathematical notation than a form of technology. And as such,
evolution is slower - not at the pace of the changes in the underlying
technology.
However I'm sometimes in the mood to not draw this line between

They're not here to whine about not being mere math notations as if that
would be an improvement.
That's one way to attempt to characterize my point - or Graham's point, for
that matter.
Except that it of course
Hello Kirby,
Thanks for this good input (you too, Scott). My syllabus is at
http://uvsc.freshsources.com/html/cns_439r.html. I like your point
about cutesy having its place. I just don't see a way to use what's in
HFDP as the basis for a programming assignment, but maybe it will come
after a few

One thing I've always wanted to see if the class is small enough:
Groups shuffling other group's previous layers, and providing
feedback (but not grades) to the original group. It is
