What is Expressiveness in a Computer Language

[Xah Lee]

in March, i posted a essay “What is Expressiveness in a Computer
Language”, archived at:
http://xahlee.org/perl-python/what_is_expresiveness.html

I was informed then that there is a academic paper written on this
subject.

On the Expressive Power of Programming Languages, by Matthias
Felleisen, 1990.

Has anyone read this paper? And, would anyone be interested in giving a
summary?

thanks.
