i have to disagree somewhat. imho the difference is in abstraction. i think good forms of abstraction have allowed computing proceed as far as it has, and will allow it to proceed further. i think abstraction may correllate with a ide or librarys usefulness, popularity, and development time, moreso than what your video demonstrates. i have a question, how many clicks would getting this snippet from above to work? you also have to navigate various dropdown menus? (dropdowns are pretty terrible UI, and i would think reading diff dropdown lists im not familar with would be jarring.) IMHO it would be like writing software with 2 mouse buttons, dropdowns or other visual elements, and instead of with keyboard, and would actually be slower. the opposite of my point above #include <valarray> #include <iostream> double standard_dev(const std::valarray<double> &vals) { return sqrt(pow(vals - (vals.sum() / vals.size()), 2).sum() / vals.size()); } int main() { std::cout << standard_dev({2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8}) << '\n'; }
