Simplicity And Elegance Are Unpopular Because They

I Would Therefore Like To Posit That Computing's Central Challenge, How Not To Make A Mess Of It, Has Not Yet Been Met.

In The Good Old Days Physicists Repeated Each Other's Experiments, Just To Be Sure. Today They Stick To Fortran, So That They Can Share Each Other's Programs, Bugs Included.

Program Testing Can Be Used To Show The Presence Of Bugs, But Never To Show Their Absence!

Elegance Is Not A Dispensable Luxury But A Factor That Decides Between Success And Failure.

Simplicity Is A Great Virtue But It Requires Hard Work To Achieve It And Education To Appreciate It. And To Make Matters Worse: Complexity Sells Better.
