I was at uni in the early 1980s. During one coding lecture the lecturer turned around and said "I don't know why you lot are so concerned with learning this stuff anyway. Within ten years nobody will be coding anymore because the computer will be doing it all for you.
As it turned out, the activities and productivity of an average Java, Scala (or any other language) progammer now are more or less identical to those of an average COBOL programmer thirty years or forty years ago. Whilst the hardware is faster and we have the Internet the only progress in coding languages seems to be more succinct syntax but we're we're still coding much the same stuff in much the same way as a generation ago. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
