I quite like the chirurgical, strategic feel of the exposition. Denotes clear thinking, and/or multiple revisions.
When I work in some code I often spend too much time on reviewing and enhancing code in this way, but mine being a side project all that work (I’m not the best programmer by far) is either for future me or for no one, and often I end up feeling that I lost time for nothing.
But I like to spend time in making this kind of clean code {shrug}.
- adolph 5y agochirurgical [ kī-rûr′jĭ-kəl ] adj. Surgical. No longer in technical use.
- harperlee 5y agoYeah, sorry, still used in spanish, my mother tongue. My bad!
- jwkane 5y agodon't apologize for using a great word. :)
- adolph 5y agoTotally agreed, my comment was just to add meaning in case others also wondered , not a criticism. Gotta love trans-language words. My friends used to say “go hands” whenever it was time to vamanos.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoBut hands, manos, does not even appear in vámonos.
- throwamon 5y agoI was about to say the same, but I just googled to be sure. Apparently "vamanos" is a common (mis)spelling?
- thaumasiotes 5y agoI always thought it was vaminos. Spanish speakers are unlikely to make that mistake, though, because the ending -monos is regular for first-person plural reflexive imperatives. https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/mirarse#Conjugaci%C3%B3n https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/mirarse#Conjugaci%C3%B3n (And -monos is etymologically very transparent - it's just the first person plural ending -mos, familiar to everybody, with the first person plural reflexive pronoun nos suffixed onto it and eliding the -s of -mos.)

- mbg721 5y agoI mean, in much the same way, "lexicon" is French for "the xicon"...
- codetrotter 5y agoThe Norwegian name for it is very similar. Kirurgisk :)
- tosh 5y agoin German also "chirurgisch" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chirurgisch https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chirurgisch
- govg 5y agoIt's also used (at the very least) by the Indian Medical education system to denote a higher degree in surgery, called the M. Ch.
- rsrsrs86 5y agoIn Portuguese: Cirurgico
- avnigo 5y agoIt's from the Greek χειρουργία, compound word for hand-work, which nowadays is synonymous to surgery. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%87%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CE%B3%CE%AF%CE%B1 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%87%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%81%CE%B...
