Quotations
200 ;;Quote: existing programming languages attempt to capture all of program development in one text; the program must balance clarity with efficiency
200 ;;Quote: it is more natural to describe a program by its derivation or evolution from specifications
200 ;;Quote: should separate program derivations from the process of building derivations
200+;;Quote: the process of building a mathematical proof is exploratory, a process of filling in gaps; the end result is highly structured
202 ;;Quote: commitment of representation decisions is the inverse of abstraction; program derivation is a sequence of commitments
206 ;;Quote: the computer-aided proof of the four color theorem has undergone commentary in a 'social process'; contrary to DeMillo et al
207 ;;Quote: instead of program verification should derive correct programs with correctness checked at each stage
