> Elevating "memoization+recursion" to "dynamic programming" seems like a development that Bellman didn't anticipate Well, it also isn't a development that happened. You can (always) implement dynamic programming as recursion with memoization. But an algorithm that is recursive and memoized isn't necessarily an example of dynamic programming. The point of dynamic programming is that you set up the recursion so that recursive calls do hit the cache, not that there is a cache and if you're lucky they might hit it.
