C programmers are (usually, but there are a lot of exceptions) bad programmers who confuse the power of a language with the capability of decrease the ammount of typing needed to reach a certain goal.
They despise pascal because pascal is somewhat verbose (ignoring that this is what makes pascal readable) because they think that the best language is the one wich allows to write a whole program in a single line of code. Thats because they dont usually think before writing, they think while they are implementing, and then the only thing between current momment and the momment when their program is "ready" is the ammount of typing. Pascal programmers tend to plan ahead, they think before they type. We type a lot because of Pascal verboseness, but usually our code is right from the start. We end up typing less because we fix less bugs. Pascal generally improves programmer productivity. Lets not break this by adding crazy ideas from C/C++ family of languages... 2013/1/8 Marco van de Voort <mar...@stack.nl>: > In our previous episode, Krzysztof said: >> I don't like a lot of C++ syntax but this one is interesting.
