A holder of a bond may “buy protection” to hedge its risk of default. In this way, a CDS is similar to credit insurance, although CDS are not subject to regulations governing traditional insurance. Also, investors can buy and sell protection without owning debt of the reference entity. These “naked credit default swaps” allow traders to speculate on the creditworthiness of reference entities. CDSs can be used to create synthetic long and short positions in the reference entity.[7] Naked CDS constitute most of the market in CDS.[13][14] In addition, CDSs can also be used in capital structure arbitrage.
If your target is low to moderate traffic, simplicity and abstraction is certainly the way to go.

(yes, I was exaggerating what the parent had said, I admit it)
perl -e 'print "M" == "P" ? "yes" : "no"'
That's okey. At least it isn't VB where
if val( TRUE ) = val( FALSE )
This is exactly why anyone in their right minds puts some sort of ORM/query layer in front of their database so that their mid-tier/front-end code has no knowledge of what the sql looks like.
You make it sound like SQL code is some sort of medusa that turns middleware and front end programmers to stone if they glance at it.
Religion is more a spiritual/emotional experience that maybe doesn't yield to analytic logic. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem when 'religious' people treat religion as something that adheres to rigorous logic and hard episodic fact.
Of course its going to be a C that wins. It's pushed close to the iron.
Yet another C programmer that thinks C is "close to the iron"
No, I'm a frenetic scripter. I do perl, son. When I don't have time for the dictionary perfect definition, I'll use what people will probably understand anyway and know its not exact.
