Perhaps the word "magic" pre-disposes a programmer against it. Especially us non-tolkien fans. But thinking about it more I say it aids transparency as far as I can know who reads or modifies my variablles. However, if by "magic", variables are unxplainedly altered then that's ACME territory. Is this "magic" not the same as having a private variable within a class only accessible via magic hooks aka getter and setter methods which may spawn many actions in addition to getting and setting a variable?

I have no idea and never heard of Bob before. But I wonder what you think. Care to elaborate? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]

Probably he would recommend Damnatio ad bestias? Who nows what else. May be i‘ll write him an email and ask for support 🤪. I‘ve recently read that his current favorite language is Clojure.

I can't see any relation between agile development and watch expressions while refactoring. Maybe your message is hidden behind too many layers of irony?
