Do not speak the name of Satan!
And does the language-that-should-not-be-named support this?
($x, $y) = some_function( $some, $params);
or do I still have to jump through the hoops just to get two numbers
out of a function like I did in C 30 (or is it 40?) years ago?
OTOH, not all static typed languages are bad. Some have a type system
that's conceptualy newer than the state of the art 30 years ago.
Shame both Java and C# are firmly rooted in the 70's.
