Backus tried to pass this off as scientific, but he was really passing turdware onto unsuspecting goyim.
It was the foundation for funding a whole class of programming language: the functional language with lazy evaluation.
Haskell and ``FP'' are also ``high-level abstract isomorphic copies of von Neumann architectures''.
The ``von Neumann bottleneck'' should be considered a financial bottleneck for ``PLT'' ``research''. ``Eliminating'' it with FP allows researchers to get grants for almost anything, without having to demonstrate any real-world benefits, because they say Backus already demonstrated them.

declarations ↔ computer storage cells
pattern matching ↔ computer test-and-jump instructions
lazy evaluation ↔ fetching, storing instructions
expressions ↔ memory reference and arithmetic instructions.

The genesis of Haskell
In 1978 John Backus delivered his Turing Award lecture, “Can programming be liberated from the von Neumann style?” (Backus, 1978a), which positioned functional programming as a radical attack on the whole programming enterprise, from hardware architecture upwards. This prominent endorsement from a giant in the field—Backus led the team that developed Fortran, and invented Backus Naur Form (BNF)—put functional programming on the map in a new way, as a practical programming tool rather than a mathematical curiosity.
