    1. Applicative order versus normal order According to the description of evaluation given in 1.1.3, the interpreter first evaluates the operator and operands and then applies the resulting procedure to the resulting arguments. This is not the only way to perform evaluation. An alternative evaluation model would not evaluate the operands until their values were needed. Instead it would first substitute operand expressions for parameters until it obtained an expression involving only primitive operators, and would then perform the evaluation.

      Applicative-order and normal-order evaluation sound like synonyms to eager/strict versus _lazy_evaluation strategies respectively, but there are differences:

      The bottom line seems to be that

      • strict/eager = normal order
      • lazy ~= applicative BUT all terms are evaluated at most once
    1. recursion equations

      Does this refer to recurrence relations?

      Not much found for recursion equations, and those seem to suggest the two terms are interchangeable. However: Recurrence vs Recursive

      See wikipedia on recurrence relation also.

    1. Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
    1. Each breakthrough in hardware technology leads to more massive programming enterprises, new organizational principles, and an enrichment of abstract models. Every reader should ask himself periodically “Toward what end, toward what end?”—but do not ask it too often lest you pass up the fun of programming for the constipation of bittersweet philosophy.
    2. The source of the exhilaration associated with computer programming is the continual unfolding within the mind and on the computer of mechanisms expressed as programs and the explosion of perception they generate. If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs!
