Excerpt from New York University Compiler System Why automatic programming? One motivation perhaps may be a scarcity of competent programmers for the solution of problems, which, Dr. Wilkes suggests, may be due in turn to the fact that once programmers achieve competence they become more interested in developing automatic programming techniques than in solving problems. In any event, the desire, and perhaps the need, to increase the degree of automatization in programming is very much with us and should be met. It is also in our interest to devise means by which the programming and coding for our machine (a Univac) can be reduced in its complexity, and need for attention to detail, with a view toward making the machine available to persons whose primary interest is not in the machine but in the problem. The system presented here is an approach, an attempt to streamline programming and mechanize some aspects of coding. Much of the inspiration and a good part of the technique derives from an appreciation of the aims and achievements of Dr. Grace M. Hopper and her staff at Remington Rand, Inc.
