But being a shining jewel of perfection was not a goal when we wrote Mozilla.

The more effective you are at making your program readable, the more effective it's going to be: You'll understand it today, you'll understand it next week, and your successors who are going to maintain and modify it will understand it.

  Donald Knuth
