[Jprogramming] library suggestion

Mon Jul 19 04:49:20 HKT 2010

My point is more like that using project manager to "compile" standard library
is an empty ritual, not unlike cargo cult. The idea of transforming source code
into another, less readable form of the same source code before distribution,
seems unnatural. I understand where it came from -- probably from the days when
reading 150k script took noticably less time than reading 20 15k scripts. I
doubt that this is a concern these days.
Having comments stripped out is just one harm that it does. There is another
price to pay too. The "original" source code also becomes less readable,
because it is intended to be processed by Project manager, rather than executed
by t he system. This puts an obligation on the reader to learn intricacies of
Project manager and how it combines its components.
