Yes and no. I've moved from being more of a developer
It's time to have another dimsum lunch meeting. This restaurant has
been mentioned on list before (it used to be called Bamboo House) - it
does do dim sum but the main menu is more about Sichuan dishes.
London.pm dim sum is a social event where we meet up every Thursday at
1pm at a different Chine

I've found a lot of German programmers very uncomfortable with the "unless"
keyword, (or maybe it's just c programmers). They appear to very often prefer
to use a construct of the form:
if ( !something ) { ...
Even worse is:
unless ( !something ) { ...

This distaste is not really limited to Germans or C programmers in my
experience. Anything more complicated than
holiday.picnic() unless raining;
will ideally not appear in any code that I am required to
inspect/support/maintain.
