I'll never be able to understand certain programmers' insistence that imperative code is somehow unnatural or that "we're only used to it because of momentum" or whatever. For thousands of years people have been issuing imperative instructions to each other. "Wash. Rinse. Repeat."
- owl57 8y ago> For thousands of years people have been issuing imperative instructions to each other. This ancient culture is pretty strong, you're right. I've lost count of times I begged people to skip all this unreliable "turn right at the second intersection, rinse, repeat" and just tell me the street address long before I learned the word "imperative".
