I think this is a bit of a stretch. >Can you think of any other examples (in the Perl community or >otherwise) that demonstrate the shift toward better quality >software? How about the publication of _Perl Best Practices_? >Is this phenomenon limited to open-source products? In my experience it has more to do with the particular programming community. In Java and Perl, there is a lot of emphasis on testing. I don’t know about its prevalence in the Ruby or Python or other communities, but there is definitely a lot less of a movement among C programmers, say. Or Delphi. Least of all VB.
