- jbm 16y agoI think you're misunderstanding the reaction. It _was_ a funny/cool comment. Definitely worth being here. The thread on reddit, however, indicated that many people were ignorant in regards to viable use cases for variable variables. I code almost exclusively in Python/Django nowadays but I can honestly think of situations where I wish I had a simple ability to do functions like "$a->$b()" to clean up a piece of code.
- lanstein 16y agoNot to nitpick, but that's a variable function call, not a variable variable.
