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.
最好的程序是這樣編寫(xiě)的:計(jì)算機(jī)可以快速執(zhí)行它們,而人類可以清楚地理解它們。理想情況下,程序員是一位散文家,他使用傳統(tǒng)的美學(xué)和文學(xué)形式以及數(shù)學(xué)概念來(lái)傳達(dá)算法的工作原理,并說(shuō)服讀者結(jié)果是正確的。
The most important thing in a programming language is the semantics, not the syntax.
編程語(yǔ)言中最重要的東西是語(yǔ)義,而不是語(yǔ)法。
The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.
真正的問(wèn)題不是機(jī)器是否會(huì)思考,而是人是否會(huì)思考。
Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
