Programming and its implication on programming languages
Kurt J. Maly · 1975
In the short time that has elapsed since the appearance of the special issue of Computing Survey, [8, 12, 23, 31, 32, 33], it has become one of the classics in computer science. Articles from that issue have become required reading material for introductory computer science courses at many universities. When I was asked to organize a panel session to serve as a sequel to this issue I was therefore understandably excited. As my first task I conducted an informal survey of what people from both academe and industry feel are the pragmatic issues of concern today.
