Note that I have not mentioned laziness. This is because it only helps to solve problems more elegantly -- other languages can model infinite computations / data structures when it is useful to do so.
Reminds me of yet another quote from Dijkstra (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD12xx/EWD1284.html): "After more than 45 years in the field, I am still convinced that in computing, elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure." Ben
