From a programmer's view what do you think makes a good program ? Is it small size, small memory footprints, execution speed, small amount of dependencies or what ? |

um, you forgot the most important. It should do what the Software specifications/requirments state. You should add easy maintainance and extensibility to that list. |

The "or what ?" part of my statement means that the list is not complete. You can add anything you feel is important. |
