The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A brief history of just-in-time (2003, background): “…work in 1974 could ignore this possibility; the FORTRAN of the time did not allow recursion, and so activation records and a stack were unnecessary [Sebesta 1999]. compiled for the least-common denominator of processor may not take full advantage of the processor on which it eventually…”
An experimental demonstration of the effect of group size on cultural accumulation (2014, background): “…is found in modern computer software, which is often written using ‘object-oriented’ and ‘functional’ techniques in which the external behavior of various system sub-parts is highly constrained but the internal implementation of these sub-parts is relatively unconstrained (Mitchell, 2002).”
Exception Handling in Workflow Management Systems (2000, background): “An exception is an unusual event, erroneous or not, that is detectable either by hardware or software and that may require special processing [43].”
Cypher: An Evolving Query Language for Property Graphs (2018, background): “The need of the formal semantics has long been accepted in the field of programming languages [43] and for several common languages their semantics has been fully worked out [1, 22, 42, 49].”
