Caught this on /. this morning, maybe you did, too. Pretty interesting reading, really. The fundamental argument is that algorithms are inadequately expressive to suit CompSci today. If you look at all the attempts in 3GL, 4GL, 5GL and beyond to be more expressive, and if you've ever listened to Donal Knuth speak, you might start tending to agree with the argument. What do you think? http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/13339/53/
