44. “… nel progettare una sequenza codificata, quello che
bisogna avere innanzitutto in mente non è l’apparenza
originale della sequenza, ma piuttosto il suo
funzionamento e il suo continuo cambiamento mentre il
processo che essa controlla procede nel suo corso. …
È dunque consigliabile incominciare la progettazione
dalla fine, e cioè progettare per prima cosa il corso del
processo e la relazione delle sue fasi successive con il
codice che cambia, e quindi estrarre la sequenza
codificata come operazione successiva.”
Goldstine & Von Neumann, 1947

45. “… Questi “linguaggi di Von-Neumann” creano
dei blocchi stradali mentali enormi e non
necessari nel pensare i programmi e nel
creare le combinazioni di alto livello richieste
da una metodologia di programmazione
veramente potente. …”
John Backus, 1978
