An excerpt from Programming Perls:
A Simple Design : Antonie de Saint-Exupery,
the Fresh writer and aircraft designer, said that,
*"A designer knows he has arrived at perfection
not when there is no longer anything to add,
but when there is no longer anything to take away."*
More programmers should judge their work by this criteria.
Can any one elaborate this, please? What does the author mean when he say "...TAKE AWAY"
