    There are times that I'd like

    with (MyClass myClass = new myClass())
    {
    .Value = 10;
    .ComputeValues(22);
    with (.Nodes)
    {
    .InsertItem(10, 20);
    }
    }

    You can do it with object initializers can't you?

      What programming terms would you consider equivalent to foul language? For example: Legacy Code

        BF doesn't hold a candle to Malbolge[^] for horror. "Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp." "it took many years before the first non-terminating one was introduced. A correct 99 Bottles of Beer program, which deals with non-trivial loops and conditions, was not announced for eight years; the first correct one was by Hisashi Iizawa in 2007." (this isn't talking about adding a language feature; this is just figuring out how to do it in the existing malbolge language.)

                something something {

                more of that something

                }

                I know some like this kind of brace style but personally I can't stand it at all. It goes so far that I tend to reformat a piece of code with this brace style before reading it :-D.

                                  1. Any code that uses disk files for temporary variable storage. It means speed is throttled by disk IO, which makes delayed write required, which threatens the entire system file system. 2. Yes: "Option base 1" is such a bad idea. 3. Any do-nothing wait loop without an abort mechanism: the HP/RMB BASIC "WAIT {seconds}" would stop the whole machine, including the display and IO while it did nothing. 4. Any compiler that allows uninitialized variables. Random values cause unpredictable behavior/crashes. 5. Any (real time/ ISR) code that will stack overflow if the CPU is too slow. ...etc
