A certain sense of balance (links)

Some time ago, I wrote a post about adding an if statement. I mentioned a satire about conceptual cleanliness leading to complicated code. This isn't it, I don't think, but it's along the same lines. (Thanks to John Wiseman and a couple of others I forget.)

Richard P. Gabriel passed along a piece he wrote on the Y combinator. Like the one I linked to, it uses factorial. Quite interesting to compare and contrast the two explanations.
