For Programmatically Interpretable Reinforcement Learning (PIRL) as we shall soon see, it’s a minimal functional language and an accompanying program sketch. For a given task, a program template (which the authors call a sketch ), further constrains the set of programs that can be learned for the problem in hand.

The benefits to apps that adopt WebView-based IABs are numerous: WebViews are system components designed for use within other apps. On Android today and early iOS versions, WebViews allow embedders to observe and modify all network traffic (regardless of encryption). There's reason to worry that this is unlikely.

There are legitimate scenarios where the usage is justified, e.g. for navigation or gaming. For example, the K-9 mail app on Android had a bug whereby it would enter an infinite retry loop when the network was disconnected or a mail server failed.
