A programming language is for thinking about programs, not for expressing programs you've already thought of. It should be a pencil, not a pen.
Paul Graham

A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.
Alan Perlis

After graduating in 1973 I went into the programming field.
W. Richard Stevens

Although I may find the type of programming seen during the 2004 Super Bowl and the 2003 Golden Globe Awards disgusting and disturbing, we must always work hard to defend the cherished freedoms so clearly outlined in our Constitution, including a healthy and free press.
Mike Rogers

APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.
Edsger Dijkstra

Between rounds of speed chess I read enough of a programming manual to teach myself to write programs on the school's DEC mainframe in the language Basic.
Eric Allin Cornell

But active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs.
Niklaus Wirth

Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.
Niklaus Wirth

Don't count out other amazing programming like Frontline. You will still find more hours of in-depth news programming, investigative journalism and analysis on PBS than on any other outlet.
Gwen Ifill

Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off.
Dick Wolf

Every parent in America has the total power to control all television programming that is dispatched to their home today.
Jack Valenti

Experience shows that the success of a programming course critically depends on the choice of these examples.
Niklaus Wirth

Gates is the ultimate programming machine. He believes everything can be defined, examined, reduced to essentials, and rearranged into a logical sequence that will achieve a particular goal.
Stewart Alsop

However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.
Bjarne Stroustrup

I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming.
Kathy Griffin

I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.
Roger Ailes

I don't think people realize the extent to which TV networks are hurt when they carry public broadcasting. I think the estimate is that they lose a half-million dollars for a half day's programming.
Roone Arledge

I don't think there is enough educational programming, but unfortunately, television is built around advertising and those shows don't get the big ratings.
Will McDonough

I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media.
Sara Gilbert

I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining.
Bjarne Stroustrup
