Programming is an art with three elements. The writing of comments is prose literature, aiming to tell the story behind the code. The formation of layout through whitespace is sculpture, seeking to show the code’s hidden structure. Finally, the choice of meaningful identifiers is almost stylized poetry: a type of creative communication through a few words adhering to a specific form.

Comments gratefully appreciated. Please send them to me by any method of your choice and I'll include them here.
