20+ years ago I work on software called TOM for The Office Manager. It
ran on the Wang 2200. It was rather based on Wang Basic but used TOM for
everything. So all of my I/O was done via TOM. Actually I had no clue
how to do I/O without TOM. I've forgotten most of what I ever learned
about TOM. And as hard of a time as I am having trying to figure out what
the big advantage of externalizing I/O is and all that happy jack, I have
to remember that I actually worked with a system that did that and it
wasn't too bad.
But, how many people dig this idea of externalizing I/O and are not the
person who has access to the raw source for the getters and whatnot?
If you are in a shop that insists on this, what's the point to learning
SQL and whatnot? Unless, you are the high priest in charge of the getters
and whatnot.
