Nah! Not me. I do both at once because I am a Pop programmer. :-)
BTW - Behrouz, my postgrad student, has just got a program working that converts
CAD drawings in DXF to model-based vision programs. Most of the interfacing is done
in Pop-11. The vision programs are in C, but can be shadowed by a Pop-11 version. Thus
we have an interactive system that generates model-based vision programs within 20
seconds. (I consider this slow.) Meanwhile, in the States people are doing over-night
runs to do the same job with batch compilers ...
P.S. Anthony Worrall had a hand in the development, as did I.
