There is a pretty amazing documentary of Dijkstra on his site

He talks about elegance and his computing experiences. The film itself has an elegance to match, beautiful photography, smart editing. It is 300 MB, but quite worth the download if you are a fan of Dijkstra.

It is hard not to notice the similarity to Chuck Moore's thinking. Both came to computing before the rise of the modern computing industry. Both are exceptional thinkers who value elegance and simplicity in computing. It would seem the art of programing is quickly slipping away in the hands of contemporary programmers.
