In our defense, have you tried reading Java code?
- michaelochurch 14y agoWait, people actually read Java code? I thought that's what IDEs were for. For a serious response, I've seen tons of Java code of varying quality. Most was worse than horrible, but I have seen well-written Java. The Java code for Clojure is excellent, for one example. Most corporate Java code is indistinguishable from profanity.

- twistedpair 14y agoI grant you that. I try to abide by everything in "Effective Java 2" but some of the code I come across in my daily work makes me ill. I wish I could say such code was uncommon, but someone will always try to use a hammer as a screwdriver if it still compiles.
