Isn't "specialization" the right spelling for "specialisation"? -<small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:201.51.8.36|201.51.8.36]] ([[User talk:201.51.8.36|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/201.51.8.36|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.</small>
:It is the British spelling, according to the dictionary, which is equally valid on Wikipedia. -[[User:Goldom|Goldom]] [[User_talk:Goldom|‽‽‽]] [[Special:Contributions/Goldom|⁂]] 21:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== false claim: this idea is from the 1980ies, named "customization" back then. ==
 
The article states a false claim:
creating specialized code variants for costly computation tasks at run-time has been first exercised in the late 1980ies by object-oriented compilers. E.g. see publication list of http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~urs/oocsb/self/papers/papers.html, the methodology on which later the Java Hotspot virtual machine was based. In this context, the methodology was called "customization".
This is much earlier than the literature cited in the article, from the late 1990ies even to 2000s. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2001:4CA0:0:F240:917F:F701:C14D:5C25|2001:4CA0:0:F240:917F:F701:C14D:5C25]] ([[User talk:2001:4CA0:0:F240:917F:F701:C14D:5C25|talk]]) 13:37, 22 January 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
