I get frustrated with this nonsense that writing tons of boilerplate is somehow beneficial. As someone who actually reads a lot of code, no it isn't. I want to see the core logic, not an essay on how to iterate through an array. You can cut the bullshit code without resorting to cryptic Perl-like code. Adding in more bullshit just gives me more code I have to read that I may not actually be interested in while also spreading out the code of interest. In the horrific example code posted, all that should be there is the URL, that it is a GET, and parsing of JSON (maybe into struct). Or in other words, "fetch(url).then(resp => resp.json())" with some validation code elsewhere, though in this case it's just one field so validation of the whole response is probably unnecessary.
