it just is man. Simple code may not have a style, but anything more complex, no, it has a style and has a lot of room for the how. Like think about it for a second, there are so many way of doing things, object oriented, functional, imperative, etc. And a programmer can mix and match those as much as they see fit. Deny it all you like, but code has a style, and is creative work. We should protect creative works.
I disagree wholeheartedly.
And you're wrong, it is a form of creative expression that has style and form.
Nah, you're wrong. Code is almost exclusively implementations with a final optimized form for a task akin to a recipe.
No, code is not, it's more akin to a written work.
That's not accurate.
It is
It is not. I can setup a automated reply if you continue to insist on.. Whatever this is, or we can agree to disagree which is fine, but I find your perspective twisted, ignorant, and incorrect. I'm not sure what you want from me beyond that other than to capitulate to your tantrum.
tantrum? Says that person who's doing this :P
