Some I'm trying out Objective C (programming language) and as part of my research I read this in Wikipedia:
Structured programming was implemented in order to help "break down" programs into smaller parts, primarily to make them easier to work on as they grew increasingly large. However, as the problems being solved grew in size, structured programming became less useful as more and more procedures had to be written, leading to complex control structures and a low level of code reuse.
I laughed: that sounds pretty much like a description of the twentieth century, right?
(I'm such a cross disciplinarian geek it ain't even cool)
