In my experience those things not always go together.
I've seen "mission critical" software with basically zero formal specification.
Maybe this also happens with COBOL?
- wongarsu 5y agoI imagine this happened especially in COBOL, a language designed to be easy to learn so that business people can write their own subroutines instead of solely relying on programmers.
- rbanffy 5y agoIt was the same idea of DSL's. If you bring the language very close to the business domain, the program and the spec are very close to one another. Didn't quite happen in COBOL's case.
