abstract = "This paper includes an abstract, a discussion of the
usefulness of self-reference in early computer science
courses, and some examples to illustrate this
usefulness. Most readers will not be troubled by this
example of self-referential writing. Why then is
self-reference, usually in the form of recursive
subprograms, thought to be so onerous as to be placed
in its own left-until-the-end-and-often-uncovered
chapter in most introductory texts? Self-reference is
one of the cornerstones of computer science from the
unsolvability of the halting problem, to writing a
Pascal compiler in Pascal, to reveling in the beauty of
Quicksort. We argue that the notion of self-reference
should permeate first courses in computer science. If
this is to be the case such courses should take a view
far broader than ``Wow, I can average 10 numbers with
the skills I learned in my first programming
course!''",
