Aim For Brevity While Avoiding Jargon.

The Effort Of Using Machines To Mimic The Human Mind Has Always Struck Me As Rather Silly. I Would Rather Use Them To Mimic Something Better.

The Traditional Mathematician Recognizes And Appreciates Mathematical Elegance When He Sees It. I Propose To Go One Step Further, And To Consider Elegance An Essential Ingredient Of Mathematics: If It Is Clumsy, It Is Not Mathematics.

Our Intellectual Powers Are Rather Geared To Master Static Relations And That Our Powers To Visualize Processes Evolving In Time Are Relatively Poorly Developed. For That Reason We Should Do (as Wise Programmers Aware Of Our Limitations) Our Utmost To Shorten The Conceptual Gap Between The Static Program And The Dynamic Process, To Make The Correspondence Between The Program (spread Out In Text Space) And The Process (spread Out In Time) As Trivial As Possible.

Simplicity Is A Great Virtue But It Requires Hard Work To Achieve It And Education To Appreciate It. And To Make Matters Worse: Complexity Sells Better.

Apl Is A Mistake, Carried Through To Perfection.
