- evincarofautumn 15y agoA lot of language designers seem averse to a little whimsy in a design, which is a real shame. Programming should be fun. Then again, there are benefits to being boringly literal, too: you know what “removeTrailingNewline” does by its name, but not necessarily that “chomp” means the same thing.
