Wirth's law

"Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster."
-- Niklaus Wirth (February 1995). "A Plea for Lean Software".

I think this is something we here on /prog/ can clearly see. Programmers keep making things more and more complex/bloated shit for no good reason. Almost nobody cares about lean, fast, responsive, optimized software. Sad times.

If anyone could explain rationally
the point of suckless besides "no bloat"
Anyone could write a few dozen of the simple
C programs PER DAY.
They're primitive and just expose libC/OS functions
to end-user with very little original code.
What exactly they need? A minimal X is also
the less useful X. If e.g. you limit codebase
to 10K lines, you'll start missing useful features
because they're "inelegant" or "use too much code"
like if we lived with 1MB of ram.
