Just 15 years writing C++. >>If the tool is a programming language, then its syntax, modularization and other features absolutely affect the code being a mess or not. In any language there's the idiomatic way of doing things. There are designs to which the language lends itself nicely and there are designs to which it doesn't lend itself. There are badly written code in any language. It's up to the programmer to choose designs and paradigms that work well with the language.
