So, I'm on a contract grinding out code in C++.
There's a problem with their flat-file database, and they cannot use
their application to view it. They need to see the data in one of the
tables. Today.
Dylan to the rescue! I coded up a table viewer for that one table ...
that went fine. But then they needed to see another table, so I
generalized my code (print-header now prints any header, not just the
original table's) and added one more method to my do-read/print generic
function.
Presto, instant any-data-table reader.
Total of 134 lines of code (I cannot imagine C++'s code count).
Coding in Dylan is Fun!
Sincerely,
Doug Auclair
