Quote: the meaning of a sentence is determined by the meaning of the primitives in the sentence

Quote: implement a primitive of a language using concepts provided by a machine; the meaning must be invariant [»waitWM_1977]

Quote: a primitive concept is its own sign; is part of the thing which is conceived through itself, that is, God [»leibGW_1679]

Quote: object-oriented definitions can not handle natural kinds (i.e., primitive notions); natural kinds are not completely defined by a set of operations and attributes [»wegnP10_1986]

Quote: children easily learn the primitives of a visual environment and then struggle to program with them in interesting and complex ways [»radeC3_1997]

Quote: semantic gap between basic instructions and machine code; either compile or interpret; complex codes not needed [»debaEH_1990]

Quote: fundamental semantic entities should reflect the computer's elementary operators

Quote: CGOL can produce a LISP program for its base component; compiling the program then generates CGOL, e.g., at another site [»pratVR3_1974]

Quote: the TOPD flattener removes all hierarchical structure; then it's translated into equivalent COBOL statements [»hendP9_1975]

Quote: a program is a primitive program with respect to a program-construction tool if it was produced without the tool; used as building blocks [»parnDL_1997]

Quote: metaphrase extensibility allows the user to define the core language that is then used to define extensions [»woolJD_1973]

Quote: a Smalltalk primitive routine is marked by '' and written in an implementation language [»xlrg8_1981]

Quote: Smalltalk 80 based on about 100 primitive subroutines; allows rest of system to be flexible and extensible [»krasG8_1981]

Quote: a successful Smalltalk primitive exits the method; otherwise evaluate the remaining expressions [»xlrg8_1981]

Quote: FORTH has about 40 primitives; defined in machine language [»jameJS9_1978]

Quote: a CONTROL set includes actions such as set variables, trigger sets, analog I/O, timing, and interrupt a named set [»ruhlRC11_1976, OK]

Quote: a DELTA action is either a procedure call (partial task) or a basic action defined by the language [»handP_1981]

Quote: ATRANS is a primitive CD action; its meaning is the set of inference rules that fire because of its presence [»schaRC_1981]

Quote: data and procedure by primitive constraints: an object with parts for data fields/parameters and a body of rules in an implementation language [»deutLP1_1981]

QuoteRef: bennRK7_1976 ;;34 primitives are word, phrases, infix and prefix operators.

QuoteRef: browSA11_1963 ;;675 275 reserved words so far in APT

QuoteRef: nappRB2_1976 ;;25 base language is PL1 like with underlined key words (more accurately key letters since there are no significant spaces)

Quote: the primitive operations of scripting languages are more powerful than those of system programming languages; e.g., regular expression substitution and variable traces for updating the display [»oustJK3_1998]

Quote: define the set CONST by functions const? and evcon; evcon maps each constant into the value it denotes [»reynJC8_1972]

Quote: a programming language is a set of basic things and a way to express things in terms of other things [»landPJ3_1966]

Quote: Red languages differ by having different atoms or different primitive functions represented by atoms [»backJ_1973]

QuoteRef: landPJ3_1966 ;;157 ISWIM is a family of languages where each member has its own basic set of given things (primitives)

QuoteRef: kosiPR9_1973 ;;91 PCF (primitive computation functions) require all inputs to be present and send done when all outputs receive done. eg modify an array with a new value and returning the array

QuoteRef: kosiPR9_1973 ;;91 primitive DFPL functions

Quote: a programming language provides functions without an abstract representation; e.g., 'and' is also modulo by power of 2 [»wirtN3_1976]

QuoteRef: cbb_1973 ;;[reading (QuoteRef: grieD_1971) in Lang the terminals are machine instructions

QuoteRef: cbb_1973 ;;[reading (QuoteRef: halpMI1_1968) my operator literals are "modal" commands to the processor is the same way that $LIST is a modal command to an assembler. i.e. there is no separation between base language commands and processor commands

QuoteRef: cbb_1973 ;;3/26/75 operations as literal maps eg +(1,2) like a(1,2) both access a value

QuoteRef: cbb_1973 ;;7/12/77 with basic functions the interpreter immediately becomes complicated. the basic functions have to disappear
