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。
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.
