I assumed you were either very well versed or not at all (w/ pros and cons to both, don't worry...haha) And forget about a chasm - I've read articles by programmers where the articles shift from the topic of elegance in the conceptual essence of their code to elegance in the concrete, aesthetic form. I'm always reminded of poetry when I look at codes in books, and I recently found - through some research - that software in the US is covered by both patent -and- copyright, and if it's the latter it's considered a literary work. And for the artists, I just wonder why LOGO and the automated drawing turtles you could hook up to computers to draw your LOGO programs never took off more. Crazy times we live in.
