Message-ID: <EMERY.93Jun10230353@dr_no.mitre.org> (raw)

The difference between the TedHolden program and the GregAharonian
improved program is that the Greg program knows a heluva lot more
about computing than the Ted program.  The Greg program knows that the
majority of software by volume is still COBOL, and that 4GL's are much
more common replacements for COBOL than C...  The Greg program
responds on the semantic level, while the Ted program still comes back
with the "Ada is different, therefore wrong" syntactic response.

One could only hope that the TedHolden program will eventually exhibit
the failing of most C programs, seg fault and dump core...
