I would stop programming and go find another career if I had to deal with contrived indirection like this which I believe was ultimately conceived not to democratize the process of algorithm creation (which becomes an enjoyable process once one achieves flow) but to exclude “the unwashed masses” from “mucking up our pristine code wonderland” the original intention of abstraction-in-the-cloud seldom serves the noble goal of abstraction as labor saving device and is increasingly observed as a mechanism for implementation of INaccessibility (while perhaps not the direct intention of this author) is a theme often manifested in the web programming world where life is easier than all other manifestations of software engineering.
Meanwhile in the engineering world where software devs meet electrical engineers and summarily get dehumanized merely for being software specialists, things like the downsides of IF statements do not happen because the comparator is an elegant construct.
We’re often battling to justify our work to engineers of physical systems who feel as though we make nothing but fluff.
Then I get recommended articles like this…
No, procedural languages are beautiful, C,C++,JavaScript,Python,Rust and so on are beautiful and the art of programming is also beautiful.
JSON is also beautiful but I’ll not be making a programming language out of it.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
