I'm looking for references to research into the influence of a programming environment on one's development style. For example (and, actually, specifically), one might suspect that developers in a UNIX environment might tend to create tools and other programs that are small, single-function units, similar in nature to basic UNIX commands. Has this (UNIX specifically, or development environments in general) been researched? -- Richard Anderson (415-823-5576; ...!ihnp4!ptsfa!pbhyc!ria) Pacific Bell, 2600 Camino Ramon, Room 2N750, San Ramon, CA 94583

This year's SIGGRAPH conference included a session entitled: Toolkits: A product of their environments which addressed the different environments people have used for graphics software and the differences in the resulting toolkits. The speakers were Jim Blinn (JPL), Tom Duff (AT&T-Bell Labs), Bill Lorensen (GE) and Craig Reynolds (Symbolics). The chair was Ken Perlin (Greenburg Assoc). Tom.
