RE: IBM pushing Java

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But I believe that the languages have never been the problem, that's
what I have been trying to say. I don't believe that a new language such
as JAVA, will make any difference in the way developers work if the
standards and project management issues are not improved/resolved!

                This conversation appears to have moved away from
JAVA/OO and towards
                attitudes to standards and project management. Your code
modules are
                your assets - you'd better know what/where they are and
what they do.
