It's the name game again.. http://www.windevnet.com/documents/s=7532/ddj0209m/[^] No, I don't have a problem with managed code as such; the fly in this ointment is its name — "managed code." For starters, just hearing "managed code" conjures up "managed care," as in the healthcare insurance morass we live (and die) with. Compared to the crimes of managed care, Enron doesn't even register — and that's the guilt by association Microsoft is stuck with every time you hear the name "managed code." But then, rather than managed code, someone else might hear "mangled code" — source that's hard to read because all comments, blanks, indention, and other readability features have been removed. But that's probably not what Microsoft had in mind either.

Cool. I've not read one of Jonothan's editorials before, are they always this funny ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I hear the next generation of MS VC++ will include Heuristic Managed Objects, or HMOs, capable of learning behaviors they deem best for your application. "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" - Lorelei and Lapis Lazuli Long
