It's actually more like structural engineering You have to think about load balancing, efficiency and structural integrity (i.e. paying attention as to how you reuse strings if you do, and not leaving pointers that are refering to memory that's long been reused for something else.) Then there are the issues of public and private forms of methods and variables, for security purposes where you have to keep track of what you can call from inside where. Then there's garbage collection or lack thereof, which you also have to keep in mind depending on the language. All in all, if you are looking for methods to adhere to the form of a Shakespearian sonnet, and the variable names to rhyme, you are definitly in for a boatload of bugs and a stern meeting with the boss.

I attack from the engineering side, but am often impressed when the code turns out like a sonnet. I think the application of right technique helps shape the end product as a work of art as well as a solution to an engineering problem.

do u know programming is like a poetry? A- 20% of software engineering is programming B- 80% of SE is not programming C- 80% of SE depends upon 20% of SE 1- if u put your 80% energy on 80% of SE part mean other than programming u will get just 20% of your SE. 2- if u put your 20% energy on 20% of SE part mean programming u will get 80% of your SE.

Yeah OSMO can do that.

Are you telling me that every line of your application opens up unkown amounts of thoughts and meaning? Sounds to me like you don't know what the hell you are doing.

Of course it is. In some ways. But are these important ways? I guess it depends on your view of poetry. And programming. You might as well say, "programming is like curry". Except that you can't eat it. :^)

The rule that states: 'Follow ye not the path of least skill, but rather whatever it is ye doth well.' (ie. not philosophizing on the similarities of software and poetry)

I will have to check....
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int gain;
float rotC;
double deltaV;gain++;
rotC++;
deltaV+=rotC;gain+=rotC;
deltaV-=14;
rotC-=15; // you see?double corrupts=0,more=4;
more*=more; // coming up fast
more+=more; // making it last
corrupts=abs(power(more,more)); // absolutely!
}hey, you must be right! :rolleyes:

From what I understand, the code for the .NET garbage collector is actually written in iambic pentameter for the sake of efficiency.
