Line 8: The book pays explicit homage -- in title and tone -- to ''[[The Elements of Style]]'', by [[William Strunk Jr.\|Strunk]] & [[E. B. White\|White]]. One shortcoming of the book for modern readers is that its examples use older programming languages -- [[Fortran]] and [[PL/I]] -- which are less than representative of the ones popular today. (None of today's popular languages had been invented when this book was written.) A perceptive reader can nevertheless appreciate and learn from most of the book's points, which generally concern stylistic and structural issues which transcend the ~~idiosyncracies~~idiosyncrasies of particular languages. ==References==
