That's not accidental — I think that, even in as fast-moving a discipline as programming, it takes time for a book to establish itself as a classic; and the really good books are timeless. I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it . 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. Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition". From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. 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. More than a parellel, programming began to change my way of looking at poetry. In the act of creation, you encounter the same tension of raw, boundless possibility against disciplined construction.

Dijkstra, A Discipline of Programming, * Prentice-Hall, 3. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. GO A discipline of programming.
