>If you're unsure, that's ok. You can put a question mark at the end of a line instead. It prints debug info about that line to the console for you. Man, I love this idea. Imagine if in JavaScript, you could just add a `?` to a line to print out the value of all variables and expressions referenced. Or `?` on a line by itself to print out the value of all variables in scope. > DreamBerd has significant whitespace. Us…

Sturgeon's Law: "90 of everything is crap". It's no surprise that when you make virtually all mainstream programming languages OOP, then there will be a vast amount of bad OOP code out there (as by definition mainstream code then becomes "OOP code").
I like how you forget the % after 90. DreamBerd probably allows this.
The best gem in all of it is this: > You can make classes, but you can only ever make one instance of them. This shouldn't affect how most object-oriented programmers work. This describes my experience with most OOP code very well.

Ouch, that is a harsh view. Black & white thinking leads to depression in people with a disposition. Questioning these thoughts helps. I'm more inclined to follow the bell curve. 10% crap, 40% mediocre but rather bad, 40% mediocre but rather good and 10% great.
That sounds interesting. Who has researched/written about that?
