Emperor's new clothes - ACM followup.

[Dyke Stiles <dyke.stiles@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi -

This month's ACM had three letters in response to Ledgard's piece that I 
reproted on earlier. All agreed with Ledgard that OO was not solving the
problem.

One had another concrete example: his firm hired a Java/OO consultant at 
$150/hour to do a parallel development of a tool to manipulate data. After
6 weeks the Java had nothing running; the other group completed their PERL
implementation in one week. 

Dyke.
