Malick is also unique in that while I love his work, I understand anyone who can't get into them and finds them dull or pretentious. It's as if some people are tuned to his frequency and others just receive white noise. When you&

For me this is a seminal article, which almost eight years later still raises eloquently the most critical barriers to practical adoption. I read it again after reading the formal verification thread.
