Are programmers getting too lazy for assembly?

Isn't that what assembly programmers said when people started using C?

Are programmers getting too lazy for C?

Isn't that what C programmers said when people started using Perl, Python, et al?

We are constantly evolving toward that one glorious "Tower of Babel" language, that lets us talk to the computer, in our natural language, and it will do what we want. Until that day comes, there will be many new attempts at laying the groundwork for it, all fighting and claiming that they are the best.

But as of today, I find Perl's syntax most closely reflects the way I think, and makes programming easy. (But maybe it is a sign of Perl addiction, and it is just that I'm starting to think in Perl).


I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
