(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
Here's a neat little quote that kinda got me thinking a bit more about an issue-
"Inefficient software isn't gross. What's gross is a language that makes programmers do needless work. Wasting programmer time is the true inefficiency, not wasting machine time. "
From The Hundred-Year Language by Paul Graham.
