A misguided rant
from an "old-timer" (probably 10 or 15 years
younger than me) ... about programming (mislabeled as
"Computer Science")...
The rant ignores ideas of programmers' productivity, functional
programming, networking, decent IDEs, type inference, aspect-oriented
programming, mobile code, grid computing, mobile computing, the new
possibilities that arise from a worldwide web of computers, agents,
and processes that are always running, always online, and always
looking for ... whatever they're looking for.
Other than that, yeah, I suppose nothing's changed since BASIC
on the TRS-80.
