>Alternative reality: You cannot read a language which you do not know. I think this is probably the only thing I agree with. >Language is inconsistent. Programming languages shouldn't be inconsistent. They should conform to a formal specification that you can use to reason about correctness. A bunch of test cases seems like a bit of a cop out. It would be nicer if it was a proof rather than just a test. >Reality is inconsistent. I certainly hope reality is not inconsistent otherwise I might wake up as a potato tomorrow.
