Footnotes
- [1] The Final Countdown reached #1 in 25 different countries. The opening riff was created using an analog Roland JX-8P synthesizer, a favorite of artist Gary Numan.
- [2] During OMD's earliest years they effectively crashed in a corner of Gary Numan's tour bus.
- [3] The folks at TOPLAP have interesting views on live-coding as it relates to art and music.
- [4] The idea of session snapshots did not originate with Mathematica. Indeed, languages like Smalltalk and APL were designed with the snapshot model in mind.
- [5] There are many who see file-centric programming as archaic and are exploring (and have explored) various ideas for circumventing it, including, but not limited to: iconic syntax, program composition via query, and environment snapshots.
- [6] Chris Granger wrote a wonderful post about symbolic programming.
- [7] Manuel Woelker wrote an interesting blog post about the similarities between Clojure, Git, and CouchDB data structures in his postPersistent Trees in git, Clojure and CouchDB.
