A Programming Language Is Low Level When

I Think That It's Extraordinarily Important That We In Computer Science Keep Fun In Computing. When It Started Out, It Was An Awful Lot Of Fun. Of Course, The Paying Customers Got Shafted Every Now And Then, And After A While We Began To Take Their Complaints Seriously. We Began To Feel As If We Really Were Responsible For The Successful, Error-free Perfect Use Of These Machines. I Don't Think We Are. I Think We're Responsible For Stretching Them, Setting Them Off In New Directions, And Keeping Fun In The House. I Hope The Field Of Computer Science Never Loses Its Sense Of Fun.

Some Programming Languages Manage To Absorb Change, But Withstand Progress.

It Is Better To Have 100 Functions Operate On One Data Structure Than To Have 10 Functions Operate On 10 Data Structures.

You Think You Know When You Learn, Are More Sure When You Can Write, Even More When You Can Teach, But Certain When You Can Program.

Motto For A Research Laboratory: What We Work On Today, Others Will First Think Of Tomorrow.
