interesting to read. It seems that many things are really similar,
and I think this is a reaction to the fact that programming is often
seen very much as a tool, so the idea of effectiveness stumbles over
its own feet.
Of course I don't agree with his notion of of "natural" and his
antimathematical arguments. Thinking "naturally" is mediated already
by cultural algorithms (language, images, abstractions etc.).
Programming languages are a way to make this thinking explicit (and
to be able to change it), however "unnatural" it might seem.
thoughts?
