Each statement is one line of code. What I was proposing was a way of dramatically reducing the amount of code that we need to write so that we could spend more of our time concentrating on the business needs of our users and react to their changing world more quickly.On 5/9/06, Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Whatever the language or the architecture, programming is a most inefficient process, as I said earlier, "the most inefficient process ever devised by mankind in any field of human endeavour".oh brother. The solution is p5 pricing of the hardware so there is no shortage of CPW to run modern, modular software.Steve - I was talking about programming - not program execution. Using faster hardware doesn't improve the process of coding.sure it does. result = ProcedureCall( input1: input2 ) ; is more readable than: ProcedureCall( result: input1: input2 ) ;

however, the 2nd version uses less CPW to execute. Historically, i5 programmers have to choose the efficient, less readable method because i5 CPW is many times the price of p5 CPW. The result is less readable code. -Steve
