They still have a point, though. There are virtually no platforms that don’t support forward slashes, yet there are abstractions in place to avoid simply using slashes. This may be irrelevant, but it’s still a useless layer of complexity.
- LoganDark 3y agoI generally don't like to treat paths as strings just like I don't like to treat pointers as memory addresses. But hey, you don't always have to care about that stuff to make a functioning piece of software. You know, pick your battles, or however the saying goes. (Not intended to be sarcastic, just in case it comes off that way. I only add the "useless layer of complexity" because it makes the intention more explicit for me.)
- vips7L 3y agoIt is not a useless layer of complexity. Encapsulating paths in an object isn’t purely about slashes.
