- Karellen 4y ago> programs must be written for people to read and only incidentally for machines to execute. -- Abelson & Sussman, The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, 1984 FWIW, I already provided the quote, with the source, in these comments, 3 hours before you wrote yours. (ok, it's not exactly verbatim. But I think it would get counted as plagarism in almost any context reasonably imaginable.)
- aaronbrethorst 4y agoAhh, I apologize for not thoroughly reading the entire comment thread before posting mine. Otherwise I would've upvoted you and said "+1" or something to that effect. I certainly didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And also thanks for jogging my memory on the source. SICP remains one of my favorite textbooks from college, although it's been about 20 years and so everything's fuzzier than it used to be. Have a great weekend.
