Hello all,
Has anyone seriously considered the idea, now that object-oriented design
is understood pretty well, of developing one set of classes which would be
held in public domain and implemented by all the language developers, so
that software developers won't have the mind-bogglingly difficult task of
learning 15 different sets of libraries of thousands of classes, types,
procedures, functions, constants, etc.?
It seems this and the emerging standard for interfaces (ILU for one) would
make life much easier for all who really work at developing software.
I know some languages still don't have inheritance and some have single-
inheritance and some have multiple-inheritance. Could that be overcome in
the design/selection of the class tree?
No bugs,
Mark S. Hathaway <hathawa2@muvms6.mu.wvnet.edu>
