This program is discussed amongst a whirlwind of beautiful insight in Douglas Hofstadter's "Gödel, Escher Bach". I doubt I'm in the first 1,000 people to recommend that book on HN but I think it would be remiss to have a thread about SHRDLU without it being mentioned!
- eduren 9y agoWow, I saw this thread after just reading that chapter over lunch. My first time reading GEB and I'm absolutely captured.
- s_kilk 9y agoI've just finished my first read of GEB last night, and was delighted to see this thread pop up :) Great book, essential reading for anyone involved in Programming and/or Comp Sci.
