style, which of course makes me a pariah in the eyes of "real"
programmers. Life's tough.
Real programmers don't need RAD, they only use butterflies (1).
About RAD and interpreted languages, I do not really share what seems
to be the common philosophy nowadays. My personnal opinion is that a
good enough software will never kill a computer's resources alone, if
the computer is correctly sized for the need, C, ASM, python or whatever
might be the language. But my opinion is that, it's the accumulation of
tools using different slow languages, which will kill the computer's
resources (shell, python2, python3, php, perl, basic, whatever).
I do not really mind and won't insult someone because he prefer a
different techno, though. Except maybe if I notice that his software is
contamining the other softwares I use.
Plus, the shame with most of those languages is that, you can't be sure
that it'll still work correctly on modern computers in 5 years: the
languages might have changed in non-compatible ways (python?).
That's why, I do not share your opinion on that point. But, I do not
consider myself a good programmer, so don't worry I know I may be wrong
--and am on a lot of points-- :)
