What matters is designing und understanding the code, not writing
it. I spend less than 10% of my time at work in actually _writing_
code, so even if someone can type in his/her code twice as fast, the
maximum (s)he would gain would be five percent in overall performance.
you are missing the point!
Whather you can implement something faster in another language is not
the issue. I am arguing for less verbose syntax without decreasing
the clarity of the code in delphi/pascal and that is logically gonna
improve productivity without taking anything away.
This is only 'logical' if the hypothesis
"productivity is inversely related to the syntax verbosity"
is correct.
I question the correctness of the hypothesis, and I assume, so does
Florian...
I think the point of this is being lost on me. We're talking about
changing things like philosophy (top-down design), and syntax. So are
we talking about just creating another new language? I mean that's what
it sounds like. Why not take Python or C# and add Pascal syntax or
philsophies to it instead of adding these to Pascal?
Maybe some people just really don't like Pascal that much.
