It matters, in the same sense, that it matters if you have a module,
full of functions (which are encapsulated units of code), but your
module has a whole bunch of goto statements (not necessarily within a
function). Now...you've essentially no idea now which functions are
truly encapsulated, and which aren't. You now have to take into view,
'the whole module' - which goes against the very principle of problem
solving by breaking down the problem into smaller pieces.
I have looked a D source code modules. I challenge anyone to get there
head around whole modules.
Its actually pretty easy.
I have yet to find a D module I couldn't understand.
Now IntelliJ IDEA on the other hand...
I gave up on my recent iteration of a plugin for D when discovering I
really did not understand how its setup enough to add something to the
configuration dialog. Let alone SDK and what not.
