Programming's Foul Language

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.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

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

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

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
withstatement as well."WPF has many lovers. It's a veritable porn star!" - Josh Smith

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.

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.

Showing my age here: - anything in setjmp.h - ie setjmp, longjmp, etc basically a goto on steroids! - VARIANT_BOOL .... why oh why is VARIANT_TRUE -1 not 1 which is what TRUE is defined as, source of much pain in the past - oh and anything COM related actually! - MFC (need I say more...)

Confused? You will be...If you actually bothered to check, VB.Net HAS had that shorthand since .Net 1.1. Check your facts mate! And he was talking about the case sensitivity in C# (my main gripe with it): so that
num <> Num <> NUM, so thatnum = Num + NUMis NOTnum *= 2 -

num <> Num <> NUM, so thatnum = Num + NUMis NOTnum *= 2I could've sworn it didn't have it when I used it in .NET 2, odd.. And I meant VB when I said
num *= 2. I was trying to highlight my gripe with my last (apparently inaccurate) experience of VB, how it lacks in things I like using. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Edit: definitely my bad. I had somehow confused *= with ++. I tried writing some VB about 5 minutes ago and automatically put ; at the end of every line. :doh:

"Specification." best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
