ABSTRACT
The development of software for mathematical programming has paralleled the development of basic software and has perhaps the longest history of any application system in the computing field. It is by now powerful and elaborate, as well as complicated and expensive.
In spite of some aberrations in the evolution of mathematical programming systems, or MPS—due to competitive factors for both a business and a professional nature—a fairly universal set of design specification and performance characteristics have evolved and are now well proven in several systems. Unfortunately, existing capability is seldom used with full effectiveness and useful extensions are passed over even though many are possible with modest expenditure—provided one builds upon legitimate experience.

Do Programming Languages Make Software Too Soft?
It's difficult to create simple, correct software with current programming languages. They are unnecessarily complex. This is a plea for less softness and for safer, simpler programming languages.
