The only problem I found with the Cross multi-functions pen is that they
only come with one end cap. So, with a DigitalWriter that has a stylus at
one end and a pen at the other end, you always end up with some problem. You
keep the cap on the pen side to protect from stains, then your stylus is
unprotected. You keep the cap on the stylus to protect it, then the pen size
will mess up everything it touches...

COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk language, and a lot of the so-called `4GL' database languages share this property. The usual intent of such designs is that they be as English-like as possible, on the theory that they will then be easier for unskilled people to program. This intention comes to grief on the reality that syntax isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental effort and organization required to specify an algorithm precisely that costs. Thus the invariable result is that `candygrammar' languages are just as difficult to program in as terser ones, and far more painful for the experienced hacker.-- Read the List FAQ/Etiquette: http://www.newtontalk.net/faq.html Read the Newton FAQ: http://www.guns-media.com/mirrors/newton/faq/ This is the NewtonTalk mailing list - http://www.newtontalk.net
