[PD] That's a surprising new look

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

A programming environment should encourage people to program in a way  
that not only works, but also is clearly legible to people who have  
never seen that program before.  This makes it much easier to reuse  
and maintain code, and that leads to much less duplicated effort.   
That means everyone can benefit from the faster progress.
