Appreciate the insight. This one line though... "You might be surprised to find out languages from the 1970s and 1980s have better abstractions (e.g. functors/modules) than some designed today. :)" ...is uniquely appropriate as I've been amazed by and posted so much old work on forums that there's little that surprise me. Far as abstractions, I think Ten15 (below) was most interesting I found given its potential as an integrator. Burroughs Architecture, IBM System/38, Wirth's layered design of Lilith, Genera LISP's developer flow... the best attributes of these still haven't been matched imho by modern work. Still worth remembering and factoring into one's next project if possible. http://www.mca-ltd.com/martin/Ten15/introduction.html |
