Quoting your rules paper:

Now after half a century of programming languages evolution, we have rich programming model with exceptions, transactions, variable scope control, threads of execution, and objects. And I fail to identify those constructions in rules programming. What kind of code quality can be expected from the programming model with such a limited means? Yeah, sure, rules would be easily maintainable, just find a knowledgeable rules engineer on the market...
BTW, Chris Date have some publications on rules and databases, but it's too simplistic, IMO. Received on Thu Aug 23 2001 - 00:23:13 CEST
