Anything coded badly (but has the core commands needed) will work but in most cases efficiencity (spelling?) is a big part. There are already too many crappy coders, Im only familiar with web coding but things like windows vista are the result of unefficient coding. It works well but isn't very well optimized Being unnecessarily verbose when coding/scripting is no different to using too many words when talking to someone; you'll be understood just the same, but it will take x-times longer than it needs to. I read a while ago that a downside of all the computing power we have nowadays is that programmers don't need to develop efficient code; loops can cycle through at imperceptible speeds etc. Back in the day, many people actually coded in machine code so they make things as efficient as possible. Very few people bother these days. I'm sure Erayd/Somebody can comment better than I on this. |

It works well but isnt very well optimized Vista is a result of an unclear mission statement and management getting out of hand. Towards the end there were 10,000 programmers working on it. It's UNBELIEVABLY complicated. With the amount of it that's outsourced, quality control is chaotic and any elegance in coding is a joke. |
