Talk:Intentional programming
Here is a Java class that, when saved to the file WhichI.java, will compile and illustrate the point being made correctly.
public class WhichI {
public static String i = "am canadian";
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}
I think that the none functioning example in the text should be replaced with this one.
Why is this in Wikipedia? The only "user" of Intentional Programming that I know of is Simonyi's company. This is not an accepted technology or technique, only an unproven idea for which Simonyi is known for in arcane software engineering circles.
This entry makes multiple references to "the video", but doesn’t say what or where this video is or how to view it.
--- if you look at the editing history, the link to the video was removed since it didn't work anymore. this page is in serious need of an overhaul!
Warning
This page hardly encapsulates the concept of Intentional Programming. For a proper treatment, follow the links in the External Links section and read anything by Charles Simonyi.
Page name
The page is now called "Intentional Programming". Shouldn't it be "Intentional programming" since the term isn't a proper noun (and since in Wikipedia the first letter must be capitalized)? —Ben FrantzDale 15:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. --Salix alba (talk) 12:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. Most google hits are for Intentional Programming, and it is not a generic noun in the same way functional programming is - it's a very unusual, specific set of tools and ideas peculiar to one guy and his followers and companies. --Gwern (contribs) 19:37 9 January 2007 (GMT)
