the silent void
book one
thus spake the master programmer:
编程易做图如是说：
"when you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to leave."
“当你从我手中夺走水晶球时，就是你离开的时候了。”
1.1
something mysterious is formed, born in the silent void. waiting alone and unmoving, it is at once still and yet in constant motion. it is the source of all programs. i do not know its name, so i will call it the tao of programming.
寂静的虚空里诞生了神秘的东西，这种东西恒久存在永不消失，它是所有程序的根源所在，我不知道怎么形容它，姑且称它为编程之道。
if the tao is great, then the operating system is great. if the operating system is great, then the compiler is great. if the compiler is greater, then the applications is great. the user is pleased and there is harmony in the world.
如果道是完美的，那么操作系统就是完美的，如果操作系统是完美的，那么编译嚣就是完美的，如果编译嚣是完美的，那么应用程序就是完美的，所以用户心满意足，整个世界因此和谐。
the tao of programming flows far away and returns on the wind of morning.
编程之道去如黄鹤来如晨风。
1.2
the tao gave birth to machine language. machine language gave birth to the assembler.
道生机器语言，机器语言生汇编嚣。
the assembler gave birth to the compiler. now there are ten thousand languages.
