Talk:ARexx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Introduction POV
The second half of the introduction presents a very non-NPOV, especially the following sentence:
Because of its ease of use ARexx is strongly recommended for learning fundamental programming techniques.
The benefits of ARexx could and should be described on a more factual basis. 204.50.113.28 17:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've tried to fix the worst of it. Mdwh 21:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you Mdwh. Now the introduction it is far better with polite english.
Regarding 204.50.113.28
If you had had read the article, you had discovered in the characteristics section why the first phrase is precise about ARexx as one of the far easier languages for teaching programming:
Being an interpreted language Arexx has no necessity of any complicated compiler, linker, debugger or development environment. It has a very simple internal mechanism of execution "step by step" of its programs, so anyone could control how execution is performed and correct errors right on the fly. This feature is very useful to increase speed of development of any program and is invaluable for any non experienced user. All Arexx scripts have to deal with a very complete and sophisiticated error handling system which is monitoring any error could occur during execution. The user could choose in any situation to suspend and resume the execution of the program. Arexx interpreter gives to the user a simple but powerful system to handle resources. It frees the memory allocated for the variables when an arexx program ends its execution, it closes open files and the libraries that the program used, etcetera. Arexx is an imperative language, i.e. it is based on the execution of instructions in a sequence. It is oriented to a structured, procedural and modular programming.
Please 204.50.113.28, next time read well entire articles, and check about characteristics section before being so pompous with gratuitous affermations upon the ease of a computer language and about what it is factual or not.
