The first video is the same as https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/FP/#Backus1... .

I hadn't seen the Group Meeting video; I will add it (even though it's very rough).

I will change the entry for [Booch2007] to include the video as well as the transcript.

In that first diagram (https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/FP/Composin...), A and B are supposed to be pure functional programs; side-effects are modeled by each one outputting a new version of each modified input. In the second diagram (https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/FP/Strict_H...), as actually implemented in FL, they stick to strictly leftmost-innermost evaluation order so that side-effects are at consistent (but this presumably prevents parallel evaluation).

Is this your project: https://github.com/metazip/pointfrip ?

I donated https://www.analogmuseum.org/library/beckman_EASE_installati... to this web site. The original was from my father-in-law, Professor Cyril P. Atkinson at U.C. Berkeley.
