Re:It's possible to write rubbish in any language (Score 1)

Pretty much the case where I work. Alot of stuff written in perl including a 200 line script to rename a file and to make sure its not over writing a file with the same name and massive birds nests of code that with the zero documentation and none of the original authors still in the organisation leaving me with little choice but to start from scratch. Sure I could of waded through it all but then that would of taken as long if not longer than rewriting it myself and have to think about in the future where someone new might come in and have to go over my old code. Would rather they say "Hey this is easy to understand and read" than "hey the last guy was a total arse for not writing this so its readable and leaving any documentation!"
