A nice quote by Chris Langreiter [Vanilla author]

I would agree with the quote except I don't think mathematics *has* to be infinitely abstract. One of the joys of applying programming to math is you tend to make it (math) more concrete. And that can provide a more secure basis for subsequent abstraction. Kirby
