Maybe the middle space doesn't involve a compiler, but I really think computers should be allowed on tests, for a different reason: the computer makes it possible to write out of order. You can go back and add to the beginning without erasing and rewriting everything.
This applies to prose as much as code. A computer completely changes the experience of writing, for the better.
Yes, obviously people made do with analog writing for hundreds of years, yadda yadda, I still think it's a stupid restriction.
- freehorse 10mo agoWhat do you mean? I have been writing out of order in my exams all the time. That’s what asterisks and arrows are for!
- Wowfunhappy 10mo agoTo a very limited extent, yes. But you'd need a lot of arrows to replicate what can be done on a computer. The computer completely frees you from worrying about space.
