\n> “There is a pleasure in creating well-written, understandable
\n> programs.
\n> There is a satisfaction in finding a program structure that tames the
\n> complexity of an application. We enjoy seeing our algorithms
\n> expressed
\n> clearly and persuasively. We also profit from our clearly written
\n> programs,
\n> for they are much more likely to be correct and maintainable than
\n> obscure
\n> ones.”
