hi John,

did you mean to cut off the sentense above as is, i.e. did you mean to
say that java was not designed, period, or that it was not designed
to be a teaching language?

I think that software is becomming a more component based, where 
most programmers know how to use those pieces of software as a black
box, and so many do not learn the more basic things in programming, 
like data structures and records (in Java, programmers do not even 
know what a record is :). These things are not learned well. Java 
programmers do not even know too well about enumeration and parameters 
passing mehanism, but know how to create an object or extend one and 
use an interface.

speaking of records. in true OO, the concept of a record does not exist
really. All what you have is an object, which contains attributes (state
information). So, I can sort of understand when a java programmer ask me
what is a record?
