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

Quite true.

Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

So I guess at CP does not ask programmers to write documents. Are you hiring? :)

Nobody should ask programmers to write documents. Documents written by programmers are the bane of my existence.

Throws, as in the Java notation :thumbsdown:

Kidding ? :omg: Coding without it is like using FORTRAN: do not catch anything, or enclose all code in try/catch, just in case ;P

IUnkown was fine - it was IQueryInterface that introduced all the problems. ;P

QueryInterface() was a part of IUnknown... ;P

SIGSEGVSIGBUS wasn't so hot either.

Actually, I'd rather like the

I got over that very quickly and now can't figure why people miss it. Just use a short named local.

Parts of it - you can't do method invocation with it.

You can use an initialiser for your Nodes collection as well.

Are you mad Sir?

I mean - it's a pretty awful thing to wish upon a developer...

I like writing documents. :)

(There was supposed to be some sexual connotation in there. :~ ) But I do dislike the prolific use of the things.

Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:
int num = Num + NUM;
Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)
You so could write it like that in VB. But it would be tantamount to
num *= 2err I meannum = num * 2Curses to VB and it's lack of shorthand arithmetic operators!

Prolific maybe, but between them and partial classes, I get quite extended.
