Programs versus specifications
We are used to thinking of a program as "something that is executed to give a specific result". 
In cloud computing, it can be better to think of a program as "a specification of what needs to be computed."
The simpler the specification is, the more options we have to compute the thing.
Simplicity is equivalent with flexibility of response.
