Simple Made Easy

Just watched this great talk on software simplicity and why it’s different from easiness by Rich Hickey, author of Clojure. Main points are:

classes are inherently complected, make them as simple as possible
separate data and functionality
if someone tells you to code a knot, don’t. untangle first.
declarative programming rocks
if you need to explain how your code works for someone to be able to use it, you are doing it wrong
