Now extrapolate that error rate from 30 lines to a program the size of Firefox (something like 5 MLOC), and you should see how fraught with danger that style of programming is.
But you don't write 5 MLOC of code using that programming style. You use it to write a small core something along the lines of, oh, I don't know, a Python interpreter, and then write the rest of the code on top of that platform. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
