  1. “Smoothing data with Julia’s @generated functions”. 5 November 2015. Archived from the original on 4 March 2016. Retrieved 9 December 2015. Julia’s generated functions are closely related to the multistaged programming (MSP) paradigm popularized by Taha and Sheard, which generalizes the compile time/run time stages of program execution by allowing for multiple stages of delayed code execution. ↩
