A followup to an earlier post about using scripting languages for large systems: Jon Udell's column entitled "Refactoring the business." Jon interviews Ward Cunningham, one of the founders of the eXtreme Programming technique, and the inventor of the Wiki. A quote (from Udell):
There is, of course, a vast gulf between the process mappers who model business systems pictorially, and the programmers who grind out the C++ or Java or .Net services that support those business systems. Between the two camps lies a fertile land of opportunity. It's time to jointly explore it.
Also, don't miss Jon's weblog, which has "outtakes" from the interview.
