Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.

However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.

I felt it was part of the spirit of the whole program to do more than simply make an object.

Low-level programming is good for the programmer's soul.

Software patents are dangerous to software developers because they impose monopolies on software ideas.

A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.

I think software patents are a bad idea. Many patents are given for trivial inventions.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

There was something amazingly enticing about programming.
