When writing programs in Basic (I'm teaching it to my son), I find I want to put a lot more comments in the code. The comments are roughly English translations of the program I'd write in a powerful language, and my source code is roughly the resulting object code.
There are multiple reasons people comment code, but one of them is the (often unacknowledged) feeling that they're not using a powerful enough language. Such comments are in effect language design bug reports, and could be a source of ideas about how to make languages better.
The more comments, the better. So, still torturing the kids?
Can you share a code sample? :)
I still do this in Python. But much less in Fortran, Mathematica, etc. For me seems like the verbosity of the language correlates with length of comments.
“Verbosity”? I do observe a dangerous trend to regard one-liners as the ultimative yard stock to evaluate code “DSLism” .... a powerful language allows you to express yourself with the right amount of symbols ... and complex problems might need a lot of symbols
Why? Are you going to send him back in time?
Meta boiler plate ....
I personally prefer coding style that doesn't use comments. The idea is to use really good variable names and maybe a few extra lines to show simply what the code does. Of course some languages might be just too hard to read no matter how much you do refactoring.
Is he permitted to use GOTO?
You can't get anything done in Basic without goto.
