- 52-6F-62 7y agoI think that’s the right question. More like? Not sure. The cause of? Surely. Best explained or represented by? Probably.
- symplee 7y agoAlmost. Laziness = minimum spanning tree Love = merge sort Sadness = reversing a linked list But yes, all other emotions are iambic pentameter poetry.

- joe_the_user 7y agoWhy can't poetry be algorithms? or Why can't algorithms be poetry, for that matter? The potential of algorithms hasn't been fully explored imo. And perhaps the potential of poetry hasn't either.
