.. pleasure is probably been the main goal all along. But I hesitate
to admit it, because computer scientists want to maintain their image
of hard working individuals who deserve high salaries. Sooner or later
society will realise that certain kinds of hard work are in fact
admirable even though they are more fun than just about anything else.
