  Computer implementation of sophisticated algorithms for physics applications
is greatly facilitated by the new generation of component-oriented SD
technologies pioneered by Wirth's Oberon and embraced by the software industry
(Sun's Java and Microsoft's C#). In a stark contrast with the deeply flawed
C++, the Oberon technologies (specifically, the Component Pascal and the
BlackBox development environment) offer an unparalleled SD platform for
building scientific applications from sophisticated data processing to
demanding symbolic calculations. Specific examples are discussed.
