What I would really love to see would be a big industrial study comparing programmer productivity with long-term use of RN and BTen. I have searched for one but I haven't found anything. You would think that if BTen were as superior as it is made out to be, that sort of thing would be out there, but it's really not in the best interests of Big Math. Instead they continue to focus on indoctrinating each new generation of students in BTen, to make sure they have enough trained workers as necessary to operate their complex products. Of course, if we used RN, we probably wouldn't need so many of them!

Well, the computers on which to run the study already exist:
