Comment on Knuth: Computer Programming as an Art (1974)parent

Comments

Bertrand Russell also had this to say: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.

I think this could equally be said for computer programming, except it is given life. We can see theory animated.
