No mention of Hoare triples, predicate transformers, loop invariants, or any of the other formal machinery that was discovered 50 years ago and thoroughly solves the problem. The author means well, but this is completely uninformative.

Dijkstra was trained as a Mathematical Engineer for example. Fact is, if astronomers had the mindset of most programmers, they'd call their field Telescope Science.
