> Because you don't build application logic the same way as you speak and write. But I do Gustav, When I am writing a financial proposal I put it in financial terms using standard terminology and laid out in a specific way. When I am writing a medical case for funding I put it in medical terminology and laid out in a specific way. etc etc But in all cases, I am using plain language, not interspersed with unnecessary hieroglyphics which are only there because the people who wrote the particular compilers for that language wished it to be so, not because it is necessary- you have only to look at other languages written for other compilers to know that is so. Take Stuart's PB. That is an excellent example of easy to read, high level code which compiles down to executable code - no P code etc. The reason I, and many other people, use Access is because of the RAD that it comes with. Thanks for the F# link, that is very interesting. max On 16 March 2010 08:55, Gustav Brock <Gustav at cactus.dk> wrote: > Hi Max > > > .. why (..) would anybody go for non-plain language coding? > > Because you don't build application logic the same way as you speak and > write. > > But to you F# must smell like honey: > > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/fsharp/default.aspx > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_Sharp_(programming_language) > > /gustav > > > _______________________________________________ > dba-VB mailing list > dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb > http://www.databaseadvisors.com > >
