> Poetry... quite eye-pleasing
I disagree with this comment. That style makes the code extremely hard to follow, as there's no proper indention to identify scope.
- saagarjha 8y agoMost of these examples are meant to be a joke, I’d assume.
- swalladge 8y agoYes, the whole article is semi tongue-in-cheek. I tried to bring it back to reality by mentioning my appreciation for the creativity of people who designed the styles. :)
- letientai299 8y agoProbably I've taken this so serious since the article mentioned Bourne Shell code, which is a real project, and the Fibonacci indent style is actually nice.
- stinos 8y ago'eye-pleasing' is a subjective thing here and doesn't have much to do with functionality/readability (on the contrary, which is why you posted your comment). I think I understand what the OP means: that code sample, when looked at as an art form and not as code, indeed can be considered eye-pleasing by some because of the symmetry etc. For that aspect whether the code is readable has nothing to do with it.
