Article: The Fine Art of Computer Programming

[Christophe Grandsire]

Hi,

Just found this great article from the Free Software Magazine:

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/issue_06/focus-software_as_art/

It focusses on various issues about programming, like fun in writing
*and* reading code, literate programming, etc... Since fun in
programming is a recurrent theme among Rubyists, and there is quite a
culture among us of clear, readable code, I thought it might interest
some people here.

As someone who read the METAFONT source code "for fun", I relate very
well to this .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
