Epigrams on Programming (1982)
- Ma8ee 11y ago> Functions delay binding: data structures induce binding. Moral: Structure data late in the programming process. What is meant by that?
- stites 11y agoPersonal interpretation here, but I believe it's because when you structure data too early into the program's process you wind up constricting yourself too tightly. An easy example would be when you have sections of your program hardcoded. Alternatively, when your code is too generic - you can simply lock it down when needed.
