Advocating for trading away readability in favor of easing the lives of devs who refuse to use an IDE doesn't seem like a win, especially in the context of a team.
- laumars 6y agoI’m often writing code into vim (without any fancy plugins installed) and never had an issue. As I stated in my previous comment, I don’t particularly believe named arguments make it any easier to write without an IDE because you’re only trading memorising the order of parameters with the names of those parameters. Either way there’s still a minimum level of memorisation required. I get each developer is different but personally I remember numbers and orders easier than names. And frankly, if you have a developer who can’t learn the basics of the language they’re employed to work on yet also refuses to use any developer-friendly tools to assist him, then that’s a failing of the the developer and not the language.
