>>What don't you get?

To quote myself, re "write-only language":

>>If you wonder what is wrong with that quote, check the Best Practices book.

Was that really so hard? (I might add that PBP isn't directly new... Then we have Moose, which is the best OO system among the scripting languages, etc...)

Edit: I might comment on this part, that "po" added afterwards:

>>Also, of course I have opinions just like you.

Well, I don't go and write standard troll comments from ten years ago in language discussions...



"Read the best practices book" is great for writing good code yourself, but a primary complaint of the OP is that reading others' code is pure hell. You can't guarantee that others have read it...


Well, the OP comments seems to get rewritten a bit, without adding "Edit:". :-)

Edit: If I should touch your point, too... the OP's complaints are literally about 1990s system administrators, which weren't really programmers. You'll get bad code in any language without coding standards, etc.
