中文导读
Stuart Halloway 深入词源与客观定义，论证“简单”（Simple）对程序员而言绝非主观行话，而是一个清晰客观的指标；并阐述了这种理念如何指引 Clojure 的语言设计，以及开发者如何写出更纯粹精简的代码。
为什么 HN 推它
常与 Rich Hickey 的经典演讲并列推荐，精准剖析了“简单”（Simple）与“容易”（Easy）的本质区别及其对代码架构设计的深远影响。
「他从词源本质挖掘出了‘简单’的真正含义，并讲透了这对写代码到底意味着什么。」HN 网友原话：He talks about his definition of "simple" (by digging into what the original English definition was) and what that means for code.
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
Stuart Halloway argues that simplicity is objective, with a definition and etymology useful to programmers, rather than a subjective buzzword. He shows how this view informs Clojure's design and how to make programs simpler.
HN commenters recommend it, alongside Rich Hickey's talk, for its precise definition of simple versus easy and its implications for code design.
HN 上的提及
There’s a fair amount of overlap with Rich Hickey’s talk, but both are worth watching
I would recommend "Simplicity Ain't Easy" by Stuart Halloway[1]
I would recomend rich or stus talks on simple vs easy.
He talks about his definition of "simple" (by digging into what the original English definition was) and what that means for code.
Some of the importent keynotes from some of the early conjs are really importent
