This is not even remotely true, in any conceivable sense. But I'd love to hear what you were thinking of.
- ReflectedImage 1y agoThe concept of a module comes from the concept of a service. Services have small public interfaces that conceal their private internal workings. I understand it's a very surprising thing to learn.
- antonvs 1y agoYou wrote “originally software development used…” But originally, software development used or supported neither modules nor services. The original versions of languages like FORTRAN or COBOL had no such concepts. They had functions, procedures, or subroutines as the highest level of abstraction below the program level. And earlier computing systems were even lower level.
