I would also like to lend my voice to this - I'm no expert in programming but I was really surprised to see the list and that the writer asserted that even object-oriented (OO) languages like Java and C++ did not, at any time, support modularity. I would have thought that the concept of OO programming naturally lends itself to that of modularity and I find it illogical for C++ not to "support" modularity. This is so, so odd and I would appreciate if the experts among us can ensure that it is clarified in the article or let the list be expunged! - [[User:BroVic|BroVic]] ([[User talk:BroVic|talk]]) 06:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:This talk topic is way too big and a confusing mess of who wrote what. None-the-less I'll add to the party. ... I agree that listing languages that support modularity is the opposite of a good idea. I suspect one can write modular code in _any_ language. There are languages with explicit module syntax, but better to not try to list them. (FWIW I think listing stuff in WP is usually a bad idea. But clearly people love to do it. Live and let live.) IMO module programming is a high-level design principal and if followed will result in a codebase that is conceptually modular. If a language has direct support for modules, then it's harder to end up with a non-modular design, but I'm sure it's possible to write a codebase in a language that supports module syntax that is not very modular conceptually. It's possible to write bad code in any language ;) IMO, modular programming is a bigger and more important concept than a language construct. Not saying don't talk about language constructs. But, I suggest minimizing talk of particular languages; focus on the real story. [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 13:23, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
