"Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure." Edsger Dijkstra
Through out his scientific career, Dijkstra, the sage of software programming, insisted on simplicity and elegance in computing and mathematics. His Shortest Path Algorithm formulated in 1956-57 is used in services like MapQuest that finds the shortest way to drive between two points on the map. In a techno-mobile world of today, it is also used to solve problems like network routing, where the goal is to find the shortest path for data packets to take through a switching network. Shortest Path Algorithm is also used in more general search algorithms for a variety of possibilities ranging from automated circuit layout to speech recognition. This multifaceted application demonstrates his hallmark of "simplicity being a prerequisite for reliability." Edsger Dijkstra might be the modern day computer sage, emphasizing elegance but point be noted that evolution always favors elegance. In other words evolution is driven by the Law of Least Effort. It advocates that life and well designed machines will naturally choose the path of least resistance or "effort". Ancient Vedas speaks about this principle as the principle of economy of effort or "do less and accomplish more". It is this principle that has been the driving force behind our evolution. From hunter-gatherer, to agricultural, to industrial, post-industrial and now our evolution into Knowledge Age is a story of the Law of Least Effort. It is a story of Evolved Elegance.
