Toward Efficiency Trough Generality

Abstract

In the following lines we shall adduce new elements to a controversy which lies at the heart of current discussions about programming activities. The question is : must we write specific programs or general systems? We shall contrast the two approaches to this methodological problem by means of a case in point. Their respective interest will be compared and a surprising conclusion will eventually be reached which is crucial to the core of AI and justifies many researches in the field : efficiency can only be attained trough generality.
