I think it is both, or when I was on a holiday and at a hotel and there was a Trinity pamphlet in the main hotel area I came up with an idea that programming is a trinity of three things: - Mathematics - Engineering - Science And is neither of each alone but all of the above combined. Just that there are some things in programming you cannot do in a completely disciplined state and must do with all your creativity, but when writing code that others will use, it is better to write dumb easy to read perfectly formatted code than to go off on a creative tangent - that's the way I try to write code - simple short procedures using as few tricks as possible. Which Lisp is the opposite of, IMO, and is full of tricks - but allows creative spirits to flow ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
