What was Peter Naur's idea of 'clean' programming?
My pursuit was for a 'clean' approach to programming, which I saw as intimately linked to the programmer's understanding. This meant striving for clarity in the design of programs and in the way we describe them. It's about making the essential logic transparent and accessible to the human mind, rather than relying on obfuscation or overly complex constructions. A clean program is one that is easy to comprehend and thus less prone to error.
