abstract ;;Quote: an expressive, user-friendly application needs a learnable, direct manipulation interface and a domain-enriched, programming language; e.g., SchemePaint
70 ;;Quote: clicking/dragging/selection are too impoverished to accommodate expert users; purely graphical interfaces have limited expressive power
71 ;;Quote: there is no way to name procedures or objects in a direct manipulation interface and hence no abstraction or user- definable concepts
71+;;Quote: abstraction and user-definable concepts require the ability to name objects, operations, and parameters
72 ;;Quote: meaningful tasks within the domain of the user's interest should be expressible by a line or two of code in the user's very first program
74 ;;Quote: instead of decomposing a problem into subproblems, write software that provides a language to express an entire problem domain
