A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra

Dijkstra * Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc. Didn't Dijkstra suggest in "A Discipline of Programming" that each program should come with a mathematical proof of it's correctness so that it was by definition bug free? Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax. Art Basel also has its share of cross-disciplinary programming this year. On December 9, for instance, it presents a panel on “The Artist as Musician,” looking at how numerous international artists also perform music. Proposals will be considered in any arts discipline, including but not limited to: the performing arts, the visual arts, multimedia arts programs, and conferences or symposia that incorporate arts elements. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have. Electrical perhaps, but what should happen is that the field should strive for a higher bar for engineering discipline using the other long standing engineering fields perhaps as a template. Programming is a discipline, a discipline that is often undermined and taken lightly. A Discipline of Programming (Prentice-Hall Series in Automatic Computation) By E. If computer languages were To write a decent program, you have to discipline your brain *far* more than you would need with any language (because, let's face it, other people are forgiving but compilers or computers are not). Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. Abstract for Haskellers: This is a long, involved defense of purity, both in terms of what it affords us in terms of power and in how it enforces “good” programming practices. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Murnane, 1993) most research about the cognitive effects of computer programming seemed to have focused on programming as a problem solving rather than a linguistic activity.
