So many good ideas are never heard from again once they embark in a voyage on the semantic gulf. Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy. A LISP programmer knows the value of everything, but the cost of nothing. Software is under a constant tension. It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
Fools ignore complexity.
Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it. In English every word can be verbed. Would that it were so in our programming languages.
