“…coding style is an essentially solved problem, and we ought to stop worrying about it. And to stop worrying about it will require worrying about it a lot first, because the only way to get from where we are to a place where we stop worrying about style is to enforce it as part of the language.”

“Perl is a vast swamp of lexical and syntactic swill and nobody knows how to format even their own code well, but it’s the only major language I can think of … that doesn’t have at least one style that’s good enough.”
