Aren't most human emotions more like poetry than algorithms?
Laziness = minimum spanning tree
Love = merge sort
Sadness = reversing a linked list
But yes, all other emotions are iambic pentameter poetry.

Why can't algorithms be poetry, for that matter?
The potential of algorithms hasn't been fully explored imo. And perhaps the potential of poetry hasn't either.
More like? Not sure. The cause of? Surely. Best explained or represented by? Probably.
