[This] reminds me of a quotation from somebody that, whenever he tried to explain the logical structure of a programming language to a programmer, it was like a cat trying to explain to a fish what it feels like to be wet.
Saul Gorn, quoted by Julien Green in Microprogramming, Emulators and Programming languages, Communications of the ACM, Vol. 9, No. 3 (March 1966), pp. 230-232
Programming
The most important thing in a programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name, and now I am looking for a suitable language.
Donald Knuth (1938–) [citation needed]
Programming
The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements.
Brian Kernighan, "Unix for Beginners" (1979)
