There is something almost endearingly quaint about the author's earnest excitement over a verbose closure implementation and a procedural incarnation of the map method, like hearing a hunter-gatherer describe in awe the magic pictures in a box which is in reality a junked television set from 30 years ago.
- vectorpush 13y agoMmmmmm, sweet condescension. Nothing floats my boat higher than expressing superiority to PHP developers. They actually consider themselves to be real programmers, aren't they just the cutest?
- eevee 13y agoGP's phrasing aside, it does make the article read as though the author has never used any other closure implementation (and, by extension, any other programming language).
- vectorpush 13y agoWell, perhaps he hasn't used any other closure implementation... why would that merit mockery? I doubt the same tone would be taken if he were a Ruby novice adulating over block syntax. It's just hip to condescend to PHP developers.
- eevee 13y agoI'm only observing that the article comes across weirdly as a result, especially when the author makes judgments like "simple". Not defending the condescension. (Though the same tone might well be taken if he were a Ruby novice writing articles titled "A Look at Ruby's Continuing Evolution".)
- Killswitch 13y agoIt's this dead horse again. Let's beat it!
