They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it . Although programming is a discipline with a very large canon of existing work to draw from, the only code most programmers read is the code they maintain. People often use this as an example to show that Dijkstra was excessively doctrinaire, and out of touch with the reality of programming, but usually it's because they don't know what his argument was. For further details, see Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming". - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. First, if your programmer is not disciplined, Perl is almost guaranteed to give you spaghetti code. Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. Many of us, however, formerly self-studied the discipline of programming and filled in the gaps in our knowledge with most, if not all, of the subjects taught in the University programs. Perl is also great for those who are experienced and disciplined programmers who want to build large systems. Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition".
