Moshe Yardi in CACM vol.55, n.3, march/2012. Definitions of algorithms as an abstract state machine or a recursor. Which is analogous to the argument about imperative versus functional languages. Yardi end: "An algorithm is both an abstract state machine and a recursor, and neither view by itself fully describes what an algorithm is. This algorithmic duality seems to be a fundamental principle of computer science."
What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible. It this re-start of software I wish to explore here in this blog. Welcome
