"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."
-Abelson & Sussman, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
A great quote I remember from 61A. Taking 61C made me actually begin to think about writing code that is efficient for computers to execute. But, I do really think that readability is important. Especially for collaboration purposes it's really important that code be easy to read and edit. However, for certain applications efficiency is really more important, and it's great to both get readability and efficiency in this context.
