      Any technique is bad if you force the programmer to use only that.

      I like C++ and python over java there. I don’t need to make a public static singleton class called “IsEven.”

        I don’t think that even C++ is that bad. Like a lot of shows and music acts, I think it’s more the toxic fan base than the thing itself that really sucks. I’ve had the same feeling with a certain kind of JavaScript programmer.

        *Edit for clarity: I’m not saying that the entire C++ community is toxic, just a vocal segment of it, in line with the other examples I gave.

        The added difficulty with this in programming is that it can be much harder simply to ignore them, because you may be forced to work with them, or stuck needing to learn something from them (shudder).
