-Bjarne Stroustrup (developed C++)
Efficiency stems more from good design than from good coding.
- Robert L. Glass
More computing sins are committed in the name of [execution] efficiency (often without achieving it) than for any other single reason, including blind stupidity.
- W.A.Wulf

- Eric M. Burke

- George Bernard Shaw

- Dwight D. Eisenhower
