QuoteRef: schwJT_1978 ;;Title: Program genesis and the design of programming languages
187 ;;Quote: for large applications, should develop a language tailored to the application, then implement it to run efficiently
188 ;;Quote: a programming system should deal with rubble programs directly, i.e., the initial creation of a programmer
188+;;Quote: a rubble program, or proto-program, is a loosely related collection of program fragments; includes one for each program output
189 ;;Quote: the ideal language for an application solves a problem with rubble programs, i.e., immediate products of mental action
189 ;;Quote: the ultimate goal of programming language design is to express rubble programs which are automatically converted to efficient forms
189+;;Quote: a rubble program, i.e., initial attempt by a programmer, can be vastly inefficient
