What is Demeter? Abgerufen am 30. Dezember 2009 (englisch): „The Law of Demeter was developed early during the Demeter project by Ian Holland et al. and it provided the motivation for the work on Adaptive Programming. We called it "Law of Demeter" because we discovered it while working on Demeter but it is a general style rule for structure-shy programming. ... The Demeter project was named after Demeter because we were working on a hardware description language Zeus and we were looking for a tool to simplify the implementation of Zeus. We were looking for a tool name related to Zeus and we chose a sister of Zeus: Demeter. Later we promoted the idea that Demeter-style software development is about growing software as opposed to building software.“
