I’ve been reading Code Complete 2. As I am not native english speaker some statements take some time for me to understand. I would like you to describe the difference between these two statements the author made in his book:
- You should program into Your Language (programming language).
- You shouldn’t program in Your Language.
Why in is bad and into is recommended?
Program into your language means that you use the language to construct the “missing” pieces – leverage it to do more than it currently does. Things like creating missing data structure, algorithms and ways of accomplishing tasks that are not native to the language.
Program in your language means just that – not trying to leverage it.
I thought the examples given in the book were quite good.
