well-engineered

That said, with a well-engineered set of algorithmic tools, ideally you wouldn't need to use low-level MPI calls at all.

And while Scheme is conceptually cleaner, CL feels a lot more well-engineered as a language.

From a density perspective it's really not bad at all, which is a testament to how well-engineered the Mac Pro is.

There is no strong case to be made that this is a well-engineered product.

If anything, I don't understand the worries people have about replacing 95% of their entire diet with a well-engineered food.

Conceptually it wouldn't be different than satisfying 95% of sexual needs with well-engineered sex dolls; then also satisfying 95% of the fitness needs with well-engineered electrical muscle stimulators; then also satifying 95% of the romantic needs with a well-engineered dating app.

Are surprisingly low for a well-engineered setup.

I wonder what makes you say CL feels more well-engineered?

But unless that's your story, and unless your tool is as well-engineered and well-funded as Xamarin, trying to get one code-base across Android and iOS is going end in pain and regret.

Matz also built his Ruby on top of mature, well-engineered portable systems (Unix etc.) and while Ruby is cool and benefitted from building on that base, it wasn't magic pixie dust (or people wouldn't be so keen on JRuby).

In general the summary could be "We build our wacky idiosyncratic language on top of a mature, well-engineered, portable system that was designed and built to do something else".

While not many apps (and not many portions of the OS, even) are using the "pressure granularity" system of Force Touch, I will reserve judgement on its benefits and usefulness, but it is incredibly well-engineered.

Well-engineered software can possess some of the qualities that are esteemed in art: simplicity, balance, creativity.
