  reusability
  
     Using code developed for one application program in another
     application.  Traditionally achieved using program libraries.
     Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via
     its techniques of inheritance and genericity.  Class
     libraries with intelligent browsers and application generators
      are under development to help in this process.
     Polymorphic functional languages also support reusability
     while retaining the benefits of strong typing.
