Par for the course. To my recollection, there haven't been any
slashdot threads that didn't degenerate into drivel within about three
comments.
Personally I get tired of the "dumbing-down or not" debate because
the whole thing is really a matter of TASTE, VIEWPOINT, SNOBBERY
and how important it is to protect the "programmer" as an elite
priesthood that admits the chosen few after a rigorous 7-8 years
at University.
Runtime Revolution works without having to sweat over learning
all sorts of extremely obscure terms that have little or no
correspondence to other terms . . . while C++ and so on involve
the would-be programmer in a steep learning curve.
Good enough for me;
But, Hey, I describe myself as a teacher who "does a bit of programming
on the side"; so I have no real axes to grind.
