So:
* It's horrible code
* It has bugs
* It's not secure
...
* It's downright elegant
See the discord there? It's not elegant at all. It's easy, but easy != elegant. It's just easy.
- lukeschlather 14y agoIt depends on the problem domain. I've seen PHP pretty similar to what I just wrote that worked without complaint. In some circumstances, great, bug-free, secure code is over-engineered and inelegant.
