[I]mplementors often place more emphasis on a program's internal construction than on its external design, despite the fact that as much as 75 percent of the code in a modern program deals with the interface to the user.
It used to be that computer speed was measured in hertz,
computer memory in kilobytes, and disk space in megabytes.
Soon, speed will be measured in gigahertz, memory in gigabytes,
and space in terabytes. There's been a millionfold increase in
computational power over the past 30 years, yet interfaces to our
computers are still governed largely by ancient assumptions about their power.
