Edsger W. Dijkstra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Dijkstra was known for his essays on programming; he was the first to make the claim that programming is so inherently difficult and complex that programmers need to harness every trick and abstraction possible in hopes of managing the complexity of it successfully.
Dijkstra believed that computer science was more abstract than programming; he once said, 'Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.'"
