In fact, Fazi introduces this concept, not with a particularly clever sorting program or other classic algorithm, but with code associated more with mayhem and machine disobedience: Jaromil's Fork Bomb: This is all to say that Knuthian elegance is algorithmic elegance, and that this draws from the aesthetics of math, with its latent Platonism, emphasis on axiomatics, and "beauty in simplicity" that Fazi describes in her computational idealism. Perhaps what makes the fork bomb so appealing an example of computational idealism is that it retains elegance even when written in conditions that normally would lead us to the opposite of elegance and in defiance of "good code craftsmanship".
