You can have lots of silly or outright bad code, but any given code snippet is unlikely to be terribly magical and non-obvious.
Languages that provide lots of magic to hang code readers with definitely include Perl and C++. From what I've seen Ruby, Scala, and C# also fall into this category -- to differing degrees. -- Jess Holle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
