Comment on Simple Is Not Small

Comments

Complexity (the opposite of simplicity) has nothing to do with the size of a program, but usually there is a high chance that a large program is more complex than smaller one, purely because the complexity multiplies, not just adds up.

A single regex line could be far more complex than a 100-line java program.
