How do you characterize problem-oriented from superassembler? Also,
is this bifurcated view just a little too large-grained to be truly useful.
Do superassemblers include Java, C++, C#, COBOL, Fortran, and PL/I, and
Eiffel? Can we say that those that are not superassemblers inlcude Haskell,
Lisp, APL, Prolog, and OCAML? And which ones are truly problem-oriented?
