well, you'll hear different things about that. Some say the exact opposite, since understanding the program then depends on the large amount of state of a running system. In contrast, the write-compile-execute-cycle is more controlled, since the state building is being controlled as part of starting the program.
- TuringTest 12y ago> understanding the program then depends on the large amount of state of a running system Fair enough. But a system based on declarative functional language should largely avoid that problem, as all state has to be made explicit, and all interactions with state are represented locally.
