  The link to the 2011 Norvig blog is broken. Correct link is https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/at-scientific-american/systems-analysis-look-back-1966-scientific-american-article/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/at-scientific-americ... (Edit: a better-formatted version is at http://norvig.com/sciam/sciam.html http://norvig.com/sciam/sciam.html) Link to the PDF version of Strachey 1966: https://pdfupload.io/docs/05a2ef03 https://pdfupload.io/docs/05a2ef03

  If you search using Google for Strachey you get 15 hits for Lytton Strachey before you get to Christopher Strachey. That's a shame because I'm sure that Christopher Strachey has had a more lasting impact on the world.

  There used to be a thing called the Systems and Procedures Association, was a thing in the 60s as commercial use of computers really took off. Not sure if they are still around.

  I can recommend Fundamental Concepts in Programming Languages by Strachey 1967. This is an eye opener and a portal into the thoughts of that time. Some ideas are as relevant today as they were back then, for instance L-value versus R-value.
