Not many things we know have just a single meaning. Often, depending on the point of view, there can be multiple truthful ways of describing properties of the same object. Throughout the Practical API Design book I claimed beauty is not important, however after reading Petr Hejl's recent blog post Beauty Matters, I can't do anything else then nod in agreement. Did I change my mind? Do I see why beauty matters in API design now? Well, maybe. But more importantly Petr made me realize that term API is not a single indivisible entity, it can probably have at least three different meanings.
