The author is someone who is trying to apply a simple and consistent set of rules to non-perfect systems.
The author of course gets 'angry' with the super-non-perfect systems.
Those languages are very difficult to deal with, and he is expressing his frustration. That doesn't mean he's being condescending nor arrogant.
- ekianjo 12y agoYou should replace "non-perfect" with "non-English" in your comment. That would fit just as well.
- robzyb 12y agoI disagree. It seems to me like english is "more perfect" if you are trying to build a straightforward model of a language like a software developer might. The article suggests that there are some convoluted rules in other languages which make it much more difficult to model the language.
