Have You Ever Wondered...?
Do we need some changes to our programming languages, tools to build APIs more easily? Some changes would be nice, however they are not necessary. It is possible to write good APIs in C, in Java even now. It is just not very clueless right now. One needs to thing about the evolution issues related to API too much. As the Epilogue suggests, it would be really more simpler for all of us, if our systems were designed with evolution in mind. I hope this book will provoke discussion of how to do it.
