Programming in the large and programming in the small the small deals with short-lived programmatic behavior, often executed as a single ACID transaction and which allows access to local logic and resources such as files, databases, etc. Programming in the large and programming in the small In software engineering, programming in the large and programming in the small describe two different approaches to writing software. The terms were coined by Frank DeRemer and Hans Kron in their 1975 paper "Programming-in-the-large versus programming-in-the-small". A similar, later distinction is Ousterhout's dichotomy between system programming languages (for components) and scripting languages for glue code, connecting components. Fred Brooks identifies that the way
