Turning that around, you think that in the presence of a powerful and expressive language it is nevertheless somehow easy or straight-forward to force people to create code that's easy to understand?
I'd be interested to read more of your thinking in this matter.
- praptak 16y agoNo, it is neither easy nor straightforward. And if you think of it as "forcing", then you have already lost. The key factor is good people (this itself makes it not easy, sorry to disappoint.) If you have a competent team you don't need a dumbed down language to keep them in check. If you have incompetent people, then you may use a restrictive language as a crutch. But don't expect good results.
