Vikram Chandra 做程序员的时间几乎与他当作家的时间一样长。在这本非凡的著作中，他回顾了自己早期的创作生涯，那时他正在动笔创作 Red Earth and Pouring Rain，并借此审视了艺术与科技这两个世界之间的千丝万缕。程序员和作家一样痴迷于优雅与风格，但这些词汇对两者的含义是否相同？Chandra 对两种看似截然对立的思维方式的心驰神往，难道仅仅是一种巧合？为了解答这些疑问，Chandra 潜心研读了十至十一世纪喀什米尔哲人 Abhinavagupta 的著作

……既有趣又好玩。我还读了斯蒂芬·金的《11/22/63》。对时间旅行进行了一个有趣的全新演绎，依然带着斯蒂芬·金一贯那种让人欲罢不能的推进感。推荐给像我这样可能有一阵子没读过他作品的金迷们。维克拉姆·钱德拉（Vikram Chandra）的《极客之美》（Geek Sublime）将“我的写作生涯”与计算科学教程及历史出人意料地结合在了一起。我中间暂停了一下跑去读了《火星救援》，但这本书真的极其有意思。他是最喜欢的……之一。
…interesting and fun. I also read "11/22/63" by Stephen King. An interesting twist on time travel with the usual King propulsiveness. Recommended for King fans like me who may not have read him in awhile. "Geek Sublime" by Vikram Chandra is a surprising mix of "my career in writing" with computation lessons and history. I took a break from it to read The Martian but it's extremely interesting. He's one of my favorite…

……直到我点进链接的网站[0]，我才意识到这就是那个大名鼎鼎的维克拉姆·钱德拉。他的小说《神圣游戏》（Sacred Games）和《红土与暴雨》（Red Earth And Pouring Rain）强烈推荐。他还写过一本非虚构类书籍《极客之美》，似乎和这篇文章有点关联。0: http://www.vikramchandra.com/
…clicked through to the linked website[0] that I realized that this was THE Vikram Chandra. His novels Sacred Games and Red Earth And Pouring Rain are very highly recommended. He also has a non-fiction book, Geek Sublime that seems somewhat related to this article. 0: http://www.vikramchandra.com/
……https://adiamond.me/2015/01/writing-and-programming/ 作者说得对，关键真的在于准时坐下来、埋头干活。对很多人来说这可能特别难，但程序员早就习惯这种模式了。顺便说一句，维克拉姆·钱德拉的《极客之美》在探讨写代码和写文章之间的联系方面也做得非常棒。https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19353724-geek-sublime 钱德拉追溯了很久远的历史，指出生成语法……
…https://adiamond.me/2015/01/writing-and-programming/ The author is right in saying the key is really to show up and put in the work. That can be really hard for a lot of people, but programmers are already accustomed to it. BTW, Vikram Chandra's Geek Sublime also does a good job investigating the ties between writing code and writing prose. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19353724-geek-sublime Chandra goes way back, pointing out that the generative grammar…
如果你觉得这个很有意思，你可能也会喜欢维克拉姆·钱德拉写的《极客之美：代码之美，美之代码》（Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty）。它探讨了语言学与计算之间的联系，并且涉及了波你尼（Paninian）语法。
If you find this interesting, you might also like the book Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty by Vikram Chandra. It explores connections between linguistics and computation and touches upon Paninian grammar.
