	Re: what is a programming language?
		Programming languages are simply sets of instructions that make a computer do something for you.
		Different languages can be used to say or do the same things but the complexity and nuances can have wildly different results.
		Typically a language must have a way of storing data, in variables, and testing that data against something.

	Computer Programming - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		A program is a mix of both of the data and the code.
		It is not known whether the processor reads the program, or the program tells the processor what to do, but since most of it is imaginary (or virtual), it doesn't matter.
		Programming was invented by George Bush's hairy vagina in 2008 and is usually typing in a specific language.

	Homoiconic Languages
		Languages in which program code is represented as the language's fundamental data type are called 'homoiconic'.
		Such languages allow code and data to be DeeplyIntertwingled, so that new code can be generated and manipulated by the program itself at runtime.
		The canonical example language is Lisp; both code and data are primarily represented in the same form: as trees (S-expressions) that are trivially and explicitly available for both unrestricted manipulation as data and also for unrestricted execution as code.

	The Michigan Algorithm Decoder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		MAD was the "Michigan Algorithm Decoder," a programming language from my undergraduate days 35 years ago at
		MAD, a dialect of Algol '58, was locally considered to be far superior to Fortran, technologically, philosophically, and aesthetically.
		These were the days, of course, when programs were punched onto IBM cards, delivered as decks to a Computer Room functionary, who copied them onto magnetic tape along with many other people's programs, and conveyed the collected runs to the computer.

	MAD programming language Information
		MAD (short for Michigan Algorithmic Decoder), developed in 1959 at the University of Michigan, was a variant of the International algorithmic language (IAL) developed for use with their UMES operating system (which preceded the Michigan Terminal System).
		IAL was the original name given to the project that eventually produced ALGOL 58.
		Early programs written in MAD include RUNOFF, one of the first text processing systems.

	OOP Is Much Better in Theory Than in Practice
		UI programming certainly benefits when programmers subdivide their code into OOP-like components, but it doesn't logically follow that they must extend this modus operandi to all other aspects of programming.
		Leaving data separate from processing certainly makes program maintenance easier, particularly when the overall structure of the data changes, as is so often the case in businesses (the most successful of which continually adapt to changing conditions).
		To conserve memory and increase execution speed, such programs were written in assembly language and then C, which conformed to the computer's inner structure rather than to the programmer's natural language.

		The program was licensed to Hesware, who briefly sold the program in 1984 as part of their product line before going out of business.
		The program was later repackaged and sold in 1985 by Epyx under the title Programmers BASIC Toolkit.
		ASP (Active Server Page) is not a programming language, but is called, by Microsoft, "a server-side scripting environment." To create ASP scripts developers typically use the languages VBScript or JScript, both of which are automatically supported by ASP.

	NewsForge \| Why Linux needs Rexx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It may be a great scripting language for administrative tasks, and allow for porting tools from mainframe OS's to linux (which is one of the things IBM is helping folks do) but neither of those are (arguably) really useful on grandma's PC.
		It is certainly not a dead programming language, but to make it to the desktop today it will need a killer app that shows it's strengths or a killer development tool to capture the hobbyist.
		This contrasts to languages like Perl or Rexx, where object facilities were added to the language later in its evolution and many folks (for example, sysadmins) script forever without much regard to them.

	Learning Assembly Language
		To learn an assembly language is to learn the architecture of the CPU in question -- at least, the parts of it made visible to machine instructions.
		Does learning assembly language with one of the "high level assemblers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_assembler) teach a student everything he needs to know about modern assembly language programming (minus now-irrelevant historical cruft), or is there some reason to use traditional-style A86 or NASM or the GNU assembler ?
		So to answer the original narrowly phrased question, "Does learning assembly language with one of the 'high level assemblers' teach a student everything he needs to know about modern assembly language programming", clearly the answer is "absolutely not, in the general case".

		MAD was one of the first extensible languages: the user could define his own operators and data types and by giving assembly code for their implementation.
		Mad was, originally programmed for the 704 and has been adapted for the 7090 It too was based on the 1958 version of Algol.
		MAD has proved to be quite successful in the universities because it provides some interesting features that are not available in other languages and the speed of compilation makes it a very useful tool for running a large number of student problems.

	HLA: The High Level Assembly Programming Language \| Linux Journal
		In HLA, I wanted to create a language with high level control structures and declarations that made it possible for someone familiar with an imperative language like Pascal or C/C++ to get their first HLA programming running in a matter of minutes (or, at worst, a matter of hours).
		For those interested in learning more about HLA and the Art of Assembly Language programming, Yahoo Groups offers aoaprogramming, which, as the Web site states, is a "forum for those interested in learning and working with Randall Hyde's HLA assembler." At the time of this writing, aoaprogramming had over 1,089 members.
		The HLA (High Level Assembly) language was developed as a tool to help teach assembly language programming and machine organization to University students at the University of California, Riverside.

		The reason I included the last paragraph is to help the reader understand the importance of some familiarity with an object oriented language approach to programming structure.
		Grimes states up front and proceeds with the assumption that the reader has a basic familiarity with the structure and syntax.
		Further, the program keeps track of the number of winning and losing hands and in the more advanced model actually is capable of modifying the "random deal" to achieve a more "desired" win-loss ratio.

	MAD's Claims to Fame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		MAD provided for fast compiles, in part by having command keywords that were longer than six letters long (six was the length limit on variables), so it was very easy for the compiler to distinguish variables from keywords.
		The first REAL block structured language was the very seminal Algol '60, in my view still a very attractive programming language.
		I believe that MAD was developed by Bernard Galler (fairly recently retired from UM) and Bruce Arden; maybe others as well.

		Instead what I'd like to claim is that Java is not, generally, a hard enough programming language that it can be used to discriminate between great programmers and mediocre programmers.
		MIT set the bar very high for these courses, creating a required course (6.001) and a textbook (Abelson and Sussman's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) which were used at dozens or even hundreds of top CS schools as the de facto introduction to computer science.
		MapReduce is, in retrospect, obvious to anyone who remembers from their 6.001-equivalent programming class that purely functional programs have no side effects and are thus trivially parallelizable.
