Giving up on assembly language was the apple in our Garden of Eden: Languages
whose use squanders machine cycles are sinful. The LISP machine now permits
LISP programmers to abandon bra and fig-leaf.

When we understand knowledge-based systems, it will be as before --
except our fingertips will have been singed.

Around computers it is difficult to find the correct unit of time to
measure progress. Some cathedrals took a century to complete. Can you
imagine the grandeur and scope of a program that would take as long?

Systems have sub-systems and sub-systems have sub-systems and so on ad
infinitum -- which is why we're always starting over.
