“The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler.
The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages.
Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.
But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.”

“There is a simple reason why you should commit yourself to writing programs that are free of errors from the very start. It is that you will never be able to establish that a program has no errors in it by testing. Since there is no way to be certain that you have found the last error, your real opportunity to gain confidence in a program is to never find the first error. The ultimate faith you can have in one of your programs is in the thought process that created it. With every error you find in testing and use, that faith is undermined.”

“Even in the unending abyss that seals eternity at both ends,
if your function could compile to run on stray vacuum energy
and, given an input, it once returned some particular string,
it should, given that input, return that string again.
