I love Feynman's idea of minimal computational energy - it suggests that we could actually measure elegance. And to be fair we do - the great works of art, craft a d even science are almost always elegant. And it is something we atrive for. Some buggers have it and the rest of us wade around with feet of clay - but it is conceivably measurable. Going to be easier to go with the editor's taste I think though. |

It's a lovely idea, but in practice would be hard. "I just updated my interpreter and my code got 20% more efficient!" "How does it compare to that other code?" "I don't know, it's incompatible with the new interpreter."
