What about modular languages? What about JavaBeans? I don't think it's any less art to sculpt a bust from clay than assemble one with Legos (which btw, is repairable<g>). I'm not a programmer but a musician, so I'll do best to use what I know. I used to think that rap artist sampling/ re-mix was a bunch of crap artistically. I've come to view it as having full fledged validity artwise. The fellow not knowing any instrument and using found sounds and a mixing console exclusively may even have *more validity as an effective artist. A 'programmer' with a cursor blinking on the first line of a fresh editor may be at a disadvantage to the 'hacker' cobbling together pieces parts of existing programs from disparate places, leveraging solutions beyond himself. In the distributed computing paradigm, it might even be that that type of programming is more valid(?) Are the new 'real applications' better given to what USED to 'hack' method programming? -JCJ
