Abstract

Expressive power has been a well-established as a dimension of measuring the quality of a computer language. Easiness is another dimension. It is the main stream of development in programming language and database management. However, there has not been a method to precisely measure the easiness of a computer language. This article discusses easiness. Provided that a data model be easier than a programming language in representing the semantics of the given data model, this article concludes that Froglingo is the easiest in database application development and maintenance.
