Software design

"To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To a Computer Scientist, everything looks like a language design problem. [...] My early work clearly treated modularisation as a design issue, not a language issue. [...] We are still trying to undo the damage caused by the
early treatment of modularity as a language issue and, sadly, we still try to do it by inventing languages and tools."
