This is a great thread. A cousin of mine, a superb programmer, is C++ fluent. As in able to express any good idea in any other language in C++ efficiently. He is deep in C++. He knows a poet. They are critical, as he told me, of his ability to understand poetry. When I suggested he show them the lambda calculus he smiled. We need more poetry in code as much as we need more proof in code. I know many of us program to build, quickly and efficiently, solutions to problems, and mainly problems defined in terms of business or regulatory requirements. Nonetheless we need more poetry in code. Terse, referential, contextualised, meaningful code that uses every suitable math technique for proofiness. We build our future with code. Let's make beautiful code. In a nutshell: write less read more. Risp is great.
