And I was supposed to be a CS major, a programmer. But I came along right when the industry was crazy into "objects". Then we had to have more "Java". Simplicity was an accident. I felt like I was losing my mind, so I returned to scientific computing. Simple is hard. Simplicity via the correct application of abstraction, while keeping in mind the performance impact of your design changes, is what we do, on a good day.
