@kaleidic @EyalL I have never seen idiomatic code mean actions consistent with what many people say it means.

@dibblego @kaleidic @EyalL In my tiny world, idiom means "instantly recognizable pattern which doesn't require analysis for comprehension".

@notcalledjack @kaleidic @EyalL Does "comprehension" include "the claim of having comprehended, but which fails under test"?

@dibblego @kaleidic @EyalL Nope.

@notcalledjack @kaleidic @EyalL Then I fall back to non-existence.

@dibblego @notcalledjack @EyalL FWIW I dislike the term "idiom" in this context, but disliking it doesn't mean I can't understand it.

@kaleidic @notcalledjack @EyalL I don't like or dislike it. I don't know what it means, and it seems nobody else does either.

@dibblego @notcalledjack @EyalL It's a vague, non-formal idea. But lots of vague, non-formal ideas are valuable, even in programming.
