E.W. Dijkstra Archive: Visuals for BP's Venture Research Conference EWD963 Visuals for BP's Venture Research Conference When we had no computers, we had no programming problem either. When we had a few computers, we had a mild programming problem. Confronted with machines a million times as powerful, we are faced with a gigantic programming problem. The programming problem is gigantic because viewed as string of operations on a collection of variables, each individual computation is a gigantic object; the individual computation depending on the input, a single program has to be able to control
