True, I hear it is even possible to reuse code in COBOL : ) I believe that the ease of maintenance depends purely on the language. i.e. using a strictly procedural language for a large framework can be quite messy. Have you ever seen large libraries written in perl that consistently call "require" on a million files. PEAR is a good example of a framework that ran into a lot of limitations of the language, which ZE2 will provide a great deal of help in. -Jason On Fri, 2002-06-07 at 09:36, Zeev Suraski wrote: > Code reusability is a psychological issue.
