A discipline like Extreme Programming requires a radical upgrade in both technical and social skills, especially for programmers. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. If computer languages were To write a decent program, you have to discipline your brain *far* more than you would need with any language (because, let's face it, other people are forgiving but compilers or computers are not). It's also a discipline which, like martial arts, changes fundamentally the way you see the universe, once you get far enough in and become advanced enough. · Programming is an engineering discipline. Murnane, 1993) most research about the cognitive effects of computer programming seemed to have focused on programming as a problem solving rather than a linguistic activity. That's the person who wants to learn programming as a discipline, and to get more out of his computer, or perhaps because he likes a challenge (but not the hobbyist's kind). It requires become transparent, accountable, and responsible.
