Quit the “lets have fun being clever” approach to code; and go with trying to actually make code simple, obvious, and maintainable. Try professionalism for a change.

Are you implying that I put obfuscated code in production? Have you seen any code I’ve written? Excuse me while I laugh with gusto.

Have you tried writing callback-heavy code, like, oh, GUIs f.ex., both with closures and without? Do you care to dispute the fact that having closures available makes such code about 100 times easier to write and clearer to read?

Makeshifts last the longest.
