Because it’s ancient; that doesn’t necessarily make it better or clearer. Look at it like you’ve never seen it before. It has an entire line of boilerplate smack bang in the middle. Sure, your brain filters it out because you’re used to it, but it’s still fugly. And it’s prone to typos/copypaste errors like all boilerplate.
- Xeoncross 2y agoYes, but it's also not going anywhere. I don't consider replacing a common loop convention with what amounts to a randomly-generated sentence or two of syntax and letters in each language to be an improvement.
