I should point out that I'm not disagreeing with the assertion that block structuring is bad; rather, just that to me it's always been axiomatically an attribute of most non-trivial programming languages, neither good nor bad, but in fact unexamined. Hence, I was intrigued to see it mentioned as a bad thing, especially so prominently. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
