Also I've found that teams that focus on easily understandable languages (Python I think is the best with its "executable pseudocode" syntax) are those that are placing value on teamwork rather than individual flexing.
- Yoric 4y agoFWIW I've had opposite experiences. :shrug: Each team is different, I guess :)
- VectorLock 4y agoTeams that focus on hard to understand languages care about communication more? I - er.. okay.
- ruszki 4y agoI’ve never seen hard to understand language, just hard to understand code. Without exception. Do you have any specific in your mind?
- Yoric 4y agoI have seen teams using languages traditionally considered "easy-to-understand" assuming that the language being readable is sufficient to replace communication and proper documentation. I have also seen teams using languages traditionally considered "easy-to-understand" use various forms of meta-programming to customize the code and make it even more easy to understand... eventually reaching the point where nobody except the experts of this specific sublanguage could understand it. I have seen teams using languages considered hard-to-understand being obsessed with documentation and communication – and others who don't care at all. I've come to the conclusion that it's a teams thing, much more than a language thing.
