Looks interesting, i will try to make some time to read it.
Cool, but no surprise.
That is not the direction /comparison i had intended. My idea really was about applying some of the ideas from linguistics to the study of computer languages and the skills of clearly expressing intent in those languages.
Money, development costs and support issues are driving that. And M$ in shooting themselves in the foot in this way.
Almost on point. The issue of not having a complete toolkit really hobbles the professors and curriculum development as well. Open source is becoming more popular because of this.
Largely true, but given the student material that the professors have to work with (majority, does not reflect the best) it is about all they can do to produce reasonably competent module coders.
This is true. But it is not so much that they will be immediately canned (except by fool managers), but that there will be no new hires and no one to pass on the organizational knowledge of when, where and how to flex the system when cases go outside the range of the automation.
Translation, crude automation does not support normal human discernment.
