Why didnt IT adopt PROSE?
A few application programmers didones that related to application problems at the level of the scientific method. Some even became totally dedicated to it, subsequently programming in nothing but PROSE. But IT empires often perceived PROSE as a threat to their dominion. DATAMATION had quoted cases where practically unsolvable problems thrown at PROSE were solved in a matter of hours. This timeframe did not fit the IT norm for application development, because it could not support middleman programmers. What unsolvable meant was that such problems were unsolvable by algorithmic programming in any reasonable amount of time. So many IT managers overtly or covertly suppressed PROSE to protect their programming staffs. Wherever PROSE was adopted by end-users, they no-longer requested support from IT, because they no-longer needed programming help. Also PROSE was an interpretive virtual machine, which programmers regarded as slow, so they tended to reject PROSE out of hand. They generally rej
