Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ). They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. Dijkstra, A Discipline of Programming, * Prentice-Hall, 3. If DH were an accepted discipline, the recognition of programming activities or contributions to databases as scholarly accomplishment would not be such a big deal. Web Design is sometimes described as a purely programming discipline with graphics tacked on the front, but this is not correct because the web is a visual medium. Mature aspect-oriented frameworks offer a disciplined approach to programming. Although programming is a discipline with a very large canon of existing work to draw from, the only code most programmers read is the code they maintain. The most common excuse is that "a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind. Their desks are often littered with stacks of paper and other debris. The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. Somewhere in the middle are the true software engineers, who approach computer programming in a disciplined and rigourous knowledge-based manner, similar to that of engineers in other fields. Many of us, however, formerly self-studied the discipline of programming and filled in the gaps in our knowledge with most, if not all, of the subjects taught in the University programs. It is well known that programmers generally abhor organization and discipline. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. To Ander's defense, let me acknowledge that AspectJ has been used for the ugly.
