Traffic lights should be removed because they allow people to cross red lights.

Hospitals should all shut down because treatments there can have harmful effects when done incorrectly.

Companies should stop selling food because it allows people to eat too much and could cause medical problems in the long run.

Tools should be banned because they could be used maliciously.

Stores should all close because it would allow the possibility of shoplifting.

rambling re: tweet

By no means do I want to sound assertive. I lack a lot of knowledge in the area, so please slap me and set me straight, teach me a thing or two. The only thing that I standby is that it is stupid to explain syntax, to re-invent syntax, to argue about syntax, to have a liberal syntax, etc. Whatever does not matter (i.e. produce added value) should be standardized IMO. Eliminate mundane topics from the discussion to elevate the quality level. There are better things to do. That said readability, performance, simplicity, portability, ... still matter. A lot, I'd say.

Dictionary to level-off the communication

• syntax - something that a parser can recognize e.g. PEG; the string 'function'
• semantics - something that a parser can associate syntax to. e.g. AST/parse tree; the fact that the string 'function' is associated with the concept of a function
• higher level stuff - paradigms (OOP, FP, LP, etc), models/concepts (monads, clas
