Fascinating Article on Software Monoculture
Props for dissing C/C++ myopism. Let's move into the 5th generation languages, people!
This also colludes nicely with recent Microsoft postings about why they're keeping C# and VB.NET in rough parity (plus or minus some refactoring issues). Of course, both run off the IL, so there's another monoculture. But there's Java, which is isomorphic to C# (or vice-versa, really) and based on a different below-covers paradigm
Also reminds me to "write into a language, not in a language" as Steve McConnell is so fond of saying.
What are shaping up to be the sixth-gen langauages? Is anybody talking, because I want to be clued in!
