   1. It is extremely important for systems to be self hosted.  Only use other programming systems as a bootstrap mechanism.  If your system uses nothing written with another system, then you can rest assured that it is complete.
   1. [Dynamic analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_program_analysis) with 100% [code coverage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_coverage) is far more effective at catching programmer mistakes than static analysis will ever be. Programming tools can make such testing much less cumbersome.
   1. Never compromise the present for backwards compatibility.  Fix mistakes as soon as they are identified regardless of how it affects existing dependers.  An antiquated depender can either keep up or become an artifact.
+  1. No sacred cows.  If something can be substantially improved, do it.
   1. The programming language must make it easy for the programmer to understand and control what the computer is doing at the lowest level.  High level abstractions should never lessen this understanding.
   1. Use concrete [AST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree) metrics to measure some aspects of code quality.
      1. Fewer nodes for the same program with similar execution time and space is almost always better.

     * Static analysis will help catch program errors with respect to prime reference management.
     * Copies of prime references are permitted.  The static analyzer will try to prove that a copy does not escape the lifetime of its associated prime reference.

-    * A string constant may be specified in a program.  It will manifest itself as a mutable array of single bytes with a null terminator.
