   New ways of viewing the programming problem often lead to major   
   improvements in programmer productivity.   
      
   Remember Brooks’ Law (or one of them): once a code base reaches a certain   
   size, a skilled programmer that is familiar with it is only able to   
   contribute about 10 lines of suitably-debugged code per day. And that   
   applies across a wide range of language abstraction levels, from assembler   
   all the way up to what he called “metaprogramming” languages, or very-   
   high-level languages. Consider how little 10 lines of assembler can do,   
   versus 10 lines of shell script or Python or Lisp code.   
      
   So the only way to improve programmer productivity is to move to higher-   
   and higher-level languages.
