Lots of uses of "the" in C++ code, massively skewed by giant projects that have the massive section of boilerplate copyright info in a comment at the top of every single file. I didn't realise until I looked at this, but although that's really common to see in C, C++, and Java you barely ever see it in the languages that I spend time in (Rust, Haskell, C#, Python, various flavours of Lisp, JavaScript).
- adrianN 10y agoWait another fifteen to twenty years or so until Python and Javascript are "enterprise ready" and this will change.
- TorKlingberg 10y agoAt least nobody is keeping a revision history at the top of the file any more.
- adrianN 10y agoYou'd be surprised...
- konsnos 10y agoIn C# the first word is "summary" which is massively influenced by the way Visual Studio formats comments. I wonder though if this is an indication that a lot of people write comments.
