Papers on Programming

As an old code cutter from way back programming still interests me even though I don't get much chance these days to actually write programs (unless you count Excel macros). I came across the following two papers though which I found quite interesting.

A paper from 1984 on functional programming, Why Functional Programming Matters by John Hughs.

An article on moving Forth interpreters from one CPU to another, Moving Forth by Brad Rodriguez.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
