126 ;;Quote: some argue that attempts to make the machine assist with programming lead to wasteful dissipation of effort; but at EDSAC, everyone used the initial orders
126 ;;Quote: C.W. Adams developed the first input conversion routines; Grace Hooper developed an equally extensive scheme
127 ;;Quote: interpretive subroutines are significantly slower; use for short programs and machine simulation
135 ;;Quote: use in-line expansion to extend a machine's order code; use interpretative subroutines to reduce memory; e.g., floating point
136 ;;Quote: use redundancy of programming language for ease of use and syntactic error checking
