Programming Languages Aren’t
I realize this is a (potentially mis-informed) blog post (from my own blog, no less), but I'm not familiar enough with the research to know if this phenomenon has been widely studied or not. (And if so, where I can read more about it.) In my experience, the integration of multiple libraries with different styles is one of the primary reasons large programs often devolve into an incomprehensible mess over time. It's not the only reason, of course, but I think it contributes - especially when some programmers on the team are more familiar with one library vs. another, etc. What could be done in the context of a programming language to mitigate this? Or, what has been done? It doesn't seem like the mainstream languages are very good at keeping this problem at bay. (Or is it perhaps not a problem for anyone but me?)
