The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.
最好的程序是这样编写的：计算机可以快速执行它们，而人类可以清楚地理解它们。理想情况下，程序员是一位散文家，他使用传统的美学和文学形式以及数学概念来传达算法的工作原理，并说服读者结果是正确的。
独裁和真正的文学不能共存。一个必须死亡，另一个才能生存。
我喜欢梦的逻辑。
The properties of the whole are not deducible from the properties of the parts.
