Aug 30, 2024
Aaron Hsu, an implementor of Co-dfns and a proponent of minimal array programming, shares his insights from the Eagle Pub in Cambridge. He discusses the critical role of algorithms in enhancing programming efficiency and vocabulary. The conversation navigates the balance between terse and verbose coding, challenging conventional views on readability. Hsu emphasizes the importance of symbolic languages and introduces 'Tersity', advocating for simple languages like APL over more complex ones like C++. His insights are a deep dive into coding elegance and its impact on problem-solving.
