Martin, I've been fooling around with C++. You are right, it requires
somewhat different approach to thinking about programs. With C++ its not
that bad, since C++ is close enough to conventional languages. Actually,
C++ has some things in it I wish Modula-2 had. They don't seem that
difficult to implement. I think that OOLs will be more important in the
future. In fact Wirth's new language (it's called OBERON) incorporates some
object-oriented ideas. This shift to OOLs, is kind of like going to
structured-programming from flow charts. I mean, people who program in
PASCAL/M2/C don't draw flow charts anymore do they?
