Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.
Program construction consists of a sequence of refinement steps.
I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining.
Any good software engineer will tell you that a compiler and an interpreter are interchangeable.
The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.
A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.
A programming language is for thinking about programs, not for expressing programs you've already thought of. It should be a pencil, not a pen.
