It's funny how related ideas seem to pop up together in different places. This morning, I picked up my copy of ACM Queue magazine [1], Dec 2005/Jan 2006 issue, and read a debate about Model Driver Programming, that seems to touch on many similar or related issues to PLP, albeit from a somewhat different direction. A key quote that made me think of PLP: [[ Although the same information [as Models] is in principle also contained in low level code, it is practically inextractable ... ]] -- [p 48, Dr. Pro, para beginning "It also includes 5GL ..."] While I don't feel the article ultimately goes anywhere useful (I say: "Just use Haskell" :^) ), it does at least explore some of the tensions between expressivity and processability. #g -- [1] http://www.acmqueue.org/ The article concerned is called "Coding for the Code", but hasn't yet shown up on the web site. It usually takes a few weeks for print articles to appear there, but the interesting ones eventually seem to make it. -- Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
