That may be why your algorithm looks so little like the actual domain. On the
one hand, perhaps not being tied to the domain may make it easier to find
creative solutions. On the other hand, I prefer to see code that looks like the
problem as understood by the customer.

Even in China, I think that code should look like the domain where possible.
