I'd have to disagree. For constraints you're much better doing it in the

correction: I'm finding libraries written in Scala to be far more powerful
and usable than libraries written in Java.

If you can't comment trashy code to explain it, then you find yourself
refactoring more to make it explain itself. The policy is most effective
when used in an environment that practices code reviews and/or pair
programming.

As a rule of thumb, I won't comment WHAT a piece of code does, unless it's
e.g. a heavily-optimised algorithm that would otherwise be hard to
understand. That kind of information is far better conveyed through DSLs,
literate programming, etc. and I consider it to be a code smell if the
logic is
