“ Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated. ”

Petre, Marian and Winder, Russel (1988): Issues Governing the Suitability of Programming Languages for Programming Tasks. In: Jones, Dylan M. and Winder, R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers IV August 5-9, 1988, University of Manchester, UK. pp. 199-215.

“This research was provoked by assertions in the literature about the 'obvious naturalness' of particular programming languages for general programming. It was intended to uncover principal issues governing the suitability of general purpose programming languages for expressing different types of solutions and to observe factors which obstructed coding or inhibited it altogether. The study required experts to program solutions to a variety of problems in several languages, in order to exercise their opinions and expertise. The general pattern which emerged from the protocols was that experts devised solutions not in terms of a particular programming language, but in terms of a pseudo-language which was a patchwork of different notations and approaches, implying that they found different languages appropriate for different aspects of solution, and that they used a personal computational model which was an amalgam of all their computational knowledge. Solutions so devised were coded into a given programming language, often with heavy translation overheads, particularly for data structures. Once a satisfactory algorithm was adopted, experts resisted a change of algorithm unless provoked strongly. Three sources of irritation in coding were reported consistently: inadequate data structuring tools, inefficiency, and poor interaction facilities.”
