As someone who once made things like that, and is now an adult:
I was doing this to show people I could do it. I wasn't thinking of the people using my software but rather myself.
- bitwize 4y agoIt's what I call a stupid language trick. Don't get me wrong, they can be fun, and I don't hold things like this against you. But when people want me to write production code like that I want to clock somebody with my keyboard. TDD and BDD types get hot and bothered for this sort of thing since it makes the code look like Gherkin or whatever contrived specification language they favor this month.
- everforward 4y agoI dislike them because it falls into an uncanny valley that messes with my mind. It's close enough to English that my brain tries to context switch from coding to writing English, but it's not close enough for that to actually work. It feels like I end up fighting my own mind. I'm glad somebody has tried it so we know what it looks like, but personally I prefer the more "traditional" syntax.
