No, it was fine. I just thought that an interesting discussion would
have ensued poking fun at the fave-rave languages. However, as any
code passed into production now counts as legacy code, it undermines
the base for a good discussion and even the question of do some
languages become legacy sooner than others?'

The definition that the author uses and his intention to retro-
engineer testing frames makes the book more interesting. I shall have
to get it from my local lending library.
