Hmm, Perl is called a write once language, but it has thousands of 
libraries.Any comment appreciated.

That said,those points are mixing different responsabilities in writing 
code.I keep on mixing for fun:

-Writing libraries is not writing scripts.
-Writing readable,well structured,non redundant code is somewhat 
perpendicular to tests.
-Writing tests is a must for more people to work on the same code.
-Deciding the interface and writing docs before coding can be bad for 
experimental coding.
-Logic optimization can influence interfaces.
-Time optimization is a leverage to get paid in open source 
software.Never think about that for free.
