Small Programs and Languages

A new essay on small programs and programming languages is drawing attention, arguing for writing compact, self-contained software in simple languages rather than large systems in heavyweight frameworks. Readers are debating the trade-offs: small programs are easier to understand and maintain, but many question whether the approach scales to real-world software teams and long-term products.
