There are, of course, a myriad of technical details involved in the design
of these various languages, and there may or may not be some novel ideas in
those details. However, in my opinion, the concept of downloading a
program in the middle of an interaction to facilitate the interaction or
integrate the operation of the remote and local machines was clearly
understood and documented in 1969.
