Intuitive Bug-less Software?

Starlover writes "In the latest java.sun.com feature at Sun's Java site, Victoria Livschitz takes on some ideas of Jaron Lanier on how to make software less buggy. She makes a couple of interesting points. First, making software more 'intuitive' for developers will reduce bugs. Second, software should more closely simulate the real world, so we should be expanding the pure object-oriented paradigm to allow for a richer set of basic abstractions -- like processes and conditions. The simple division of structures into hierarchies and collections in software too simple for our needs according to Livschitz. She offers a set of ideas explaining how to get 'there' from here.

Variable assignment is one of the fundemental parts of programming a von neuman computer you clueless dork. You cannot get away from the concept of storing a value for later use whether
you use C, assembler, Prolog, ML or 101 other languages. And as for your comment about arithmetic , well , thats just funny. Perhaps YOU should have been educated properly though somehow
I'm not sure your sphincter would be listening.
