+When I became acquainted with the notion of algorithmic languages I
+never challenged the then prevailing notion that the problems of
+language design and implementation were mostly a question of
+compromises: every new convenience for the user had to be paid for
+by the implementation, either in the form of increased trouble
+during translation, or during execution or during both. Well, we
+are most certainly not living in Heaven and I am not going to deny
+the possibility of a conflict between convenience and efficiency,
+but now I do protest when this conflict is presented as a complete
+summing up of the situation. I am of the opinion that is worth-while
+to investigate what extent the needs of Man and Machine go hand in
+hand and to see what techniques we can devise of the benefit of all
+of us. I trust that this investigation will bear fruits and if this
+talk made some of you share this fervent hope, it has achieved its aim.
