Re: "with" Coders are Monsters

Why oh why, must Delphi have a with statement?!


Maybe a compiler warning that cannot be disabled is warranted:
"Note: You are using "with". Maintenance programmers "with" torches and clubs will hunt you down

Venting completed. (1% error - acceptable compilation)

How about a compiler warning that says "Note: You are using boring code that is not remotely challenging to to even a 1st year student."

I'm a proud abuser of WITH, and quite impressed when I can nest them to at least 3 levels deep. Even I can't make sense of what I've written after the event, but then that's why I paid good money for a compiler.

And get rid of GOTO?? OMG, where's the appreciation of history! If even the simplest application doesn't have at least one GOTO, you aren't even trying. Like what I've seen people do that could be done with a simple CONTINUE statement is just laughable.
