Question: The BlueJ development environment offers simple but sufficient debugging facilities for those new to and learning the art of programming. Renowned computer scientist Don Knuth once in an interview made an interesting comment. When asked what his favorite programming language was, he replied that it would be the language that had the best debugging facilities. It is interesting that Knuth, rather than commenting on features of a particular programming language, emphasized the value of debugging tools. Based on your experience in this course so far, what are your thoughts on Knuth's response? In what ways might you agree? In what ways might you disagree?
