Abstract

This article focuses on the strengths and shortcomings of application languages as they are used in general purpose computers, on the strategies for their use, and on how they impact laboratory and medical systems. The author describes the reason why we are where we are at the present stage of computer languages and suggests where we might expect to be in the foreseeable future.
