A minority view: I like the informality. The adverb “always” is accepted as informal English.

Anyway is a contraction of any + way

Personally, I think the result is that "anyways" grates. And, while I don't really care, there is a rule of thumb that advises against such things. Though in this case, the real issue is that it's a kind of in-joke and software is an inappropriate place for such things, even all the "spam" jokes in Python.
