Totally. The sausage factory makes delicious sausage, but you might not want to see inside!

  Have you ever programmed in assembly? Code that I wrote 20 years ago in Motorola 68000 assembly is easy to read and understand for me today. While I have seen “modern” code written in modern languages (by other people) that made me want to throw up and/or throw things at those people :)

    Yes, though not for a long time now. 68000 was actually some of the hardest for me to deal with, when folks would creatively use EVERY register…and in a different way in each procedure. But of course you are right, good and bad code has been written in every language. And guess what folks, your code is NOT “self-documenting,” you’re just being lazy by not writing comments! OK, soapbox ended! :-)

      > good and bad code has been written in every language Yes indeed. There seems to be no limit to how bad code can be written in any programming language :)
