The article actually says things like namespaces harm readability… really?! >.>

Like there’s a lot of things I’d point at as being really really poorly designed in C++ (most of which comes from C though to be honest), but like nothing in that article would be any of them…

Personally I find well written golang code to be significantly less readable than well written C++ code. And poorly written code is just bad anywhere, lol.

Sounds like a fun topic for a thread - where people submit really bad code that actually works but is far from ideal or idiomatic :joy:
