-- What is an Agile Language? by Ken O. Burtch You gave one fairly general example of where you are coming from: The more logic one puts into a single statement the harder that becomes. For me SQL is the obvious case in point. But the same may also be true for Perl code. Perl code development could be impeded by excessive compacting of code. To give us a clearer understanding of where you are coming from, please give us specific examples of how "excessive compacting of code" impeded Agile development or of SDLC problems that could be solved by the programming language becoming more agile. BTW, I laid down what I consider important in programming in On Coding Standards and Code Reviews, for example:
and many more. I went through these just now, but struggled when trying to decide which of these were more "agile" (update: they seem to be more aligned with Software Craftsmanship than Agile Software Development; see also Readability vs Maintainability). What is an Agile Programming Language? The agile manifesto defines agile development:
To be anti-agile therefore, a programming language needs to:
