In most cases imperative languages like Ruby, Java and C++ are good solutions. But they are not perfect. This article will present some of these cases and introduce a new tool that improves one imperative language: Ruby.</p> <h3>Lessons from Dijkstra</h3> <p>Imperative programming often results in complex code with a myriad of state tran&#8230;</p> Mon, 03 Sep 2007 14:25:31 GMT
