Yep. It’s not annoying in libraries or frameworks, but when you see engineers meta programming business logic it makes me sad.

- VeejayRampay 9y agoWhy does it? If the metaprogramming is readable and sound, I don't see where the problem is. Most of the time, good meta-programming can turn 30 lines into 5, which is not systematically better for the reader, but can help avoid some of the most mundane repetition. It's true that it shouldn't be abused and it most often is, but it does have its place.
